21 Fantastic Father’s Day Activities

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s time to show the legends in our lives how much we appreciate them. Whether he’s a BBQ king, a thrill-seeker, or a master of dad jokes, there’s something special for every kind of.

So, pack up the family, grab Dad’s favourite snacks, and prepare to make this Father’s Day one to remember. Here are 21 top Father’s Day activities and events to make him feel like the superhero he is!

1. BBQ & chill time

Nothing says Father’s Day, like good food and great company. Fire up the BBQ (we’ve got spots at many of our resorts!) and let Dad relax while the sausages sizzle—unless he insists on being Grill Master.

2. Go wild with Go-Karting

Zoom into the fun with a high-speed go-karting session. It’s fast, fun, and the perfect excuse for a friendly family competition.

3. Try your luck at fishing

Many of our parks like Tattershall Lakes and Woodland Lakes have great fishing lakes. Let Dad cast off and enjoy peace, quiet, and (hopefully) a big catch.

4. Paddleboarding adventure

Balance laughs and splashes — paddleboarding is the perfect mix of relaxation and fun. Great for bonding and getting a little wet in the process! Some of our parks even offer Paddleboarding including Retallack, Tattershall Lakes and The Lakes Rookely.

5. Mini Golf madness

Who’s the real putting pro in your family? Head to the mini golf course and battle it out for Father’s Day bragging rights. Whitecliff Bay has a fantastic mini golf course where you can all compete!

6. Dad's pub quiz night

Some of our resorts host pub quizzes — bring the brainpower, grab a pint, and team up with Dad for a night of trivia and giggles.

For the daring dads, there’s nothing like swinging through the trees on a high ropes course. Perfect for adrenaline junkies! We even have a thrilling high ropes course at Tattershall Lakes.

8. Seaside stroll & Ice Cream

Simple and sweet. Grab an ice cream cone and enjoy a sandy walk along the coast. The Cornish Coast is the perfect location for this!

9. Classic car show visit

For car-loving dads, check out a local classic car show and admire some vintage beauties together. Beaulieu National Motor Museum near Sandy Balls makes an excellent day out.

10. Sailing or kayaking on the water

Set sail or paddle out and explore the waters together. It’s peaceful, scenic, and full of bonding potential.

Pack a picnic and pick a trail. From the New Forest to Snowdonia, the UK has no shortage of stunning walks to enjoy together.

12. Lazy morning with breakfast in bed

Let him have a lie-in and surprise him with his favourite breakfast (bacon sarnie, anyone?). It’s the classic Father’s Day move.

13. Try a local food festival

Check out what’s on locally—many towns host food and drink festivals around this time. Let Dad sample local goodies to his heart’s content.

14. Dog walk & pub lunch

For the dog-loving dads, there’s nothing better than a scenic stroll with the pup and a hearty pub lunch with the whole gang.

15. Watch the big game (somewhere cosy)

If there’s a match on, find a comfy spot — maybe in one of our on-site bars, and cheer on his team together with snacks and good vibes.

16. Beach games & sandcastle wars

Grab a bucket, spade, and a beach ball if you're staying near the sea. Who says sandcastle building is just for kids?

Many of our resorts have a wonderful outdoor cinema experience, showing classic films Dad will love.
