Slime Planet

We all know how unpredictable British weather can be, even in summer, and there’s nothing worse than a brilliant day out being spoiled by torrential rain. Fortunately, we’ve collected some of the best rain-proof local family activities, so you’re guaranteed a good day whatever the weather!
