Days out don't have to cost a lot and there is plenty to do in and around Swindon this summer. We have come up with some ideas for budget friendly days out, including ones that don't have to cost more than your bus fare - oh and maybe a cheeky ice cream...

Read on to find some ideas:

A day out at Cote Water Park

A nature reserve open to the public, ideal for a family day out or fun with friends. Take a stroll around the lake, play mini golf, ride the miniature steam railway and more...

Enjoy FREE music events this summer with Music in the Parks!

Concerts are held every Sunday at 3pm at varying locations in Swindon - bring along a picnic blanket, chairs and some refreshments to sit back and enjoy the music...
