The days between Christmas can often leave us feeling at a loose end, barely knowing what the date is or what we're supposed to be doing.
If you're not a fan of hunkering down for the week and want to get out and about, we've got you covered. With the ongoing cost of living crisis we're all watching our wallets a little more this year, so we've made sure to keep the price points down - and free where possible.
Check out our list below and get some activities sorted for the coming week.
