Five Things To Do With The Kids In The Summer Holidays

Four Ashes Golf Academy is excited to promote a local Golf event in Solihull that is sure to appeal to both seasoned golfers and those looking for a fun, outdoor activity. As we head into July and the school holidays approach, it's the perfect time to get the kids involved in some sporting fun that will keep them entertained and active throughout the summer.

First up, we have our very own adventure golf course right here in Solihull. With the sun shining, you'll feel like you're on the seaside playing some crazy golf. Our 18-hole course offers challenging obstacles and water features that add an extra element of excitement. And don't worry if you lose your ball, we've got plenty of nets on hand to help you fish it out. Booking online is recommended to avoid long queues, and our course is accessible for all ages and abilities. After your game, relax in our café and enjoy a snack or a meal, and we even serve Costa Coffee. It's the perfect way to spend a few hours of family fun.

If cricket is more your speed, then you're in luck. With the Cricket World Cup happening this summer, there's a renewed enthusiasm for the sport. You can continue to immerse yourself in the cricket fever by watching the Birmingham Bears play in seven domestic T20 matches. With matches against top teams like Nottinghamshire, Lancashire, and Worcestershire, there's plenty of action to keep you entertained. And the best part? Under 16s get in for free! Whether you're introducing the kids to cricket or just want a thrilling day or evening out, the T20 matches are a great option for the whole family. Check out the fixtures and get your tickets on the Birmingham Bears website.

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at your favourite football club? Take a stadium tour at St. Andrew's or Villa Park and get a glimpse into the world of your footballing heroes. From the changing rooms to the boardrooms, you'll get an up-close look at where all the action happens. Walk down the tunnel that leads to the pitch and even see where the TV interviews take place. It's an absolute must for any Birmingham City or Aston Villa fan who's missing their football fix during the close season.

For those looking for a longer-lasting activity, why not consider a sports holiday camp with Aspire Sports? Held at Alderbrook School, these action-packed sessions are available throughout the holidays for children up to the age of 14. As an Ofsted registered supplier, Aspire Sports even accepts childcare vouchers to help with the costs. With a wide range of sports and activities, there's something for everyone. It's the perfect way to keep the kids off their technology and encourage them to stay active during the summer break.

Lastly, if you want to get back to nature and enjoy the great outdoors, look no further than Earlswood Lakes. Just on the outskirts of Solihull, this beautiful location offers plenty of activities for the whole family. The lakes, made up of three reservoirs, provide the perfect backdrop for wildlife spotting and leisurely walks. You might even catch a glimpse of woodpeckers in the area! If fishing or sailing is more your style, you're in luck as those activities are also available. To find out more about Earlswood Lakes and how to get there, visit the Canal and River Trust website.

With so many options available to keep the kids entertained and active, it's shaping up to be a fantastic summer in Solihull.
