Free Days Out - Free Days Out UK
Welcome to Do (Directory Of) Free Stuff.
Originally published on the internet in 2003 the site is now being revamped
- So some pages are still the old (blue) pages - until we get round to bringing
them on to the new format. The information is the same as before.
Days out for FREE - Fun stuff to do for FREE - FREE entry attractions.
With the cost of living increasing everywhere, we are all looking for free
stuff to do.
Celebs get offered free meals, free clothes, free trips and lots more free
stuff, so why shouldn't the rest of us have something for nothing.
Going out for the day, especially with children, can be really expensive.
This is the reason why we developed the DoFreeStuff website!
A FREE day out with the family is easily achievable. There are great ways
to keep the kids entertained for free. Our FREE entry location website is packed
with things to do and will certainly give you great ideas for free days out the
length and breadth of the country.
You could also consider:
Picnics: Putting together a lunch or hearty snack and taking a healthy walk
or bicycle ride around you nearest country park. A perfect way to burn off some
calories! Some of the larger country parks host free events, particularly for
children, usually in the school holidays throughout the year.
Beaches: A good day at the beach is a fantastic way to have a free day out.
Take plenty of sun cream even on a dull day! Make a full day of it and take a
picnic.
It was easy to spend up to £40 for a day out just on entrance fees to
different attractions. When the children are on school holidays and you want
to keep them entertained, you need a Free Day Out! Have a search through our
website for free days out in your area and if you know of one not listed let
us know!
We don't ask you to register to use the site so we don't harvest email addresses!
We don't ask you to pay an annual fee to join any 'Gold Membership' scheme either.

2010 - 2011.
The UK Government free entry scheme applies to just 50 national museums and
galleries but many Local Government institutions have followed suit.
Museums and galleries have attracted untold millions of extra visitors since
scrapping their entrance fees.
Museums that previously charged entrance fees saw a 72% boost in numbers after
the government introduced the policy in December 2001.
"The abolition of admissions charges has generally been a good thing
as it has introduced more people to museums and galleries," said Campaign
for Museums director Ylva French, back in 2004.
This is evident at London's Science Museum, where numbers have risen 120%,
and the Victoria and Albert Museum, which has enjoyed a 117% boost over the past
few years.
However, the free entry scheme only applies to England's 50 government-funded
national museums and galleries, the majority of which are based in London.
"This has made it more difficult for those museums in other parts of
the country which have to continue charging," Ms French said.
"People ask 'why aren't these free too?' As a result they have not seen
the same rise in popularity."
These include Thinktank science museum in Birmingham, whose head Jonathan
Bryant described the scheme on its introduction as helping only "the fortunate
residents of South Kensington and foreign tourists".
