The Ultimate Family Day Out Packing List

Heading out in the warm weather this summer? Top up on SPF for both adults and kids with Factor 50 sprays or creams, with immediate UVA/UVB protection and extra water-resistant formula.  

Whatever you’re up to, make sure you pack a long lasting or water resistant sun cream to protect your skin from skin damage. The unpredictable British weather makes packing tricky, but keeping a spare bottle of sun cream in your day trip bag means you’ll never be caught off-guard! 

• Sun Cream 
• SPF lip balm 
• Hat 
• Sunglasses 

It’s always a good idea to bring a mini first aid kit with you on a family day out. You never know what the day may bring so it’s important to be prepared for any situation! Antibacterial hand gel or wet wipes are perfect for keeping hands clean, along with a handy pack of tissues for any unexpected moments! 

Whether it’s a scraped knee from playing outside or a small bump from a fall, having a simple first aid kit filled with plasters or antiseptic wipes is always handy to have. 

If you are travelling a long distance for your family day out, don’t forget to pack anti travel sickness tablets or wristbands for your journey to go as smooth as possible.

One thing you may not have thought to pack for a family day out is packing cubes! They’re a great way to keep your items organised and together, helping to create a more seamless, stress-free trip for everyone. Cosmetic bags are another handy option for separating your essentials, so you know where everything is! 

For those with long hair, hairbands or clips are perfect for keeping hair out of the face especially on hot days! 

With the unpredictability of British weather, a small compact umbrella is always a good idea, paired with a lightweight small poncho is perfect for slipping in your day backpack, so you won’t have to bring any heavy jackets!
