Are you planning your holidays for 2026?
We’re really lucky to live in Hull with the ferry to Rotterdam on our doorstep. We’ve been over a few times, with the car to go to a Centre Parcs or Eurocamp in Holland, or as foot passengers.
This was our trip last year on the ferry when we did a road trip including Amsterdam and Duinrell. If you need some holiday inspiration have a read here…..

We're lucky to have the P&O ferry on our doorstep in Hull, it makes a low-cost family holiday abroad. We sailed from Hull to Rotterdam, read all about our road trip

If you are looking for a new class to try with your tot in the new year, check out Dinky Dancers from Fleur Elizabeth Academy of Dance.

My daughter started as a Dinky Dancer when she was little, and she's still with this dance school and is a Pre Senior.

There's still time to grab one of these great offers at East Riding Leisure !

If you are thinking about a new start in January and joining a gym, I go to this gym and love it. I joined on this Merry Fitness offer at the start of December and have gone to some classes in the gym, taken the kids swimming and booked a badminton court, all on my membership. I think it works out at great value for money. Join by 31st December to get the offer prices.
