Low-Cost Family Day Out Budget Sheet

Plan a fun family day out without letting the little costs add up.

A great family day doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Even when you choose a free or low-cost activity, spending on transport, parking, food, treats and extras can quickly turn an affordable day into an expensive one.

The FAW Low Cost Family Day Out Budget Sheet helps you set a spending limit, find cheaper options and track exactly what your family spends.

Choose your target before you go: Can your family keep the whole day under £25, £50 or your own budget?

The sheet helps you make smart choices before leaving home, from comparing transport costs to deciding whether to pack lunch or buy food while you’re out.
