At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.

The Spring Bank Holiday was started by the Bank Holidays Act.
The Bank Holidays Act first proposed the concept of bank holidays, declaring four in Northern Ireland, Wales, and England and a total of five in Scotland. The holidays declared were New Year's Day, Whit Monday, December 26, Good Friday, the first Monday of May, the first Monday of August, Christmas Day, and Easter Monday.
Spring Bank Holiday is celebrated as a bank holiday on the last Monday in May. There is a tradition of racing down a steep hill on this day, and some villages celebrate this day by dressing up as well. Many businesses, organizations, and schools have their doors shut on this day. According to local customs, stores may be open or closed. Public transportation systems frequently follow a holiday schedule on this day.
