THE rising cost of leisure activities is limiting families from spending more quality time out together, according to a report commissioned by car rental firm #HertzUK, which has created a digital calendar of free #family-friendly activity events.
Families which took part in a survey revealed they are spending an average of £440 per year on days out, with two-thirds of British parents saying the cost of activities has put a stop to them going out with the kids.
Olivier Lecocq at Hertz International, said: ‘After compiling this customer research, we learned that people in the UK are struggling for inspiration and the funds to enjoy memorable family days. We developed Hertz Together to allow families to discover a number of free activities in various cities across the country, putting parents’ minds at rest about the expense of days out.
‘Parents on the hunt for stimulating fun activities for the family will certainly find fresh ideas in our comprehensive list, which contains some of the country’s most-visited museums, galleries, and parks and gardens – and all are free of charge.”
A quarter of those surveyed said it’s too expensive to take their children out regularly.
