However, if you’re taking the kids, it’s likely that they’re going to need at least one day of active fun, and there’s no better place for them to let off some steam than at the Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach.

With a great selection of rides (26 in total!) and attractions, there’s plenty for all the family here. No doubt, adults will get excited by one of the many white knuckle rides on offer, including the world famous roller coaster which first came to Norfolk in 1932. For the kids, there’s a variety of slightly gentler thrills and attractions to keep them busy for hours.

Setting itself apart from most other theme parks, the Pleasure Beach is free to enter and, sitting impressively as it does at the top of Great Yarmouth’s Golden Mile, it’s in a location that’s perfect for great views out to sea.

Only five miles from Caister Caravan Park, the Pleasure Beach will provide the perfect day out for the whole family this October half term, especially for those kids needing a brief alternative to the laid-back Norfolk lifestyle.

After 34 years of success, this year the spectacle welcomes three new exciting show concepts – New York City Rhythm, Radio Waves and the Best of Seaside Special 2011.

Don’t miss comedian, Paul Adams, known for having his audiences in fits of laughter with his quick-wit and wild sense of humour. There is bound to be something for the whole family at Norfolk’s Summer Seaside Special this year.

For all you reality TV show lovers, you may recognise the unique voice of Rob McVeigh – a finalist on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Any Dream Will Do’, who will be performing live at the auditorium.
