1. Let's kick this week's offers off with a free-ish family day out, although you'll have to wait until after half term to enjoy it and keep hold of your money when you get in. A couple of farms in our area are taking part in Open Farm Sunday on June 12, when around 200 farms around the UK open their gates to the public. Organised by LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) , these open days are a chance to see how the farm works and enjoy activities such as talks and seeing the animals close-up. Opening the doors next weekend are Wheelbirks Farm, near Stocksfield, Northumberland and Broom House Farm, near Witton Gilbert, Durham. Both are free entry, but both are listing other charges for certain activities, for instance a tractor ride for two adults and two children will cost £10 at Wheelbirks, with another £2 for the bouncy castle and up to £6 for face-painting. So your 'free' day out might end up costing upwards of £26 if you've two kids. If you fancy going further afield for the day, the full list of participating farms is here.
