Spring Bank Holiday in Teesside: Family Days Out 2026

The Spring Bank Holiday falls on Monday 25 May 2026, and it kicks off May half-term week for most schools across County Durham and Teesside. If you are planning a few days exploring the coast, the moors and the market towns of the North East, here is a clear, local guide to the best things to do, with practical tips for families and visitors arriving from further afield.

Cozy Quarters manages 22 serviced accommodation properties across County Durham and Teesside, including family-friendly homes in Redcar, Guisborough, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Sunderland, Trimdon and Billingham. Every Cozy Quarters property includes free Wi-Fi, free parking, a fully equipped kitchen and fresh linen, so families can spread out, cook breakfast at their own pace and travel light.

What is open in Teesside this Spring Bank Holiday weekend?

The standout family event is Day Out with Thomas at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, running on 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30 and 31 May 2026. Trains depart from Pickering and Grosmont and travel through some of the best moorland scenery in England. Kids go free on standard NYMR services in 2026, with one free child ticket per fare-paying adult, which makes it one of the best value family days out across the half-term week.

Closer to the coast, Redcar Rugby Club is hosting a free Family Fun Day with bouncy castles, carnival games, rides and food stalls. Entry is free, with small charges for rides. In Saltburn, the Earthbeat Centre is running a sushi-making workshop where children and adults learn from scratch and take home what they create. Over in Whitby, Whitby Abbey runs its half-term Mystery Missions, an English Heritage activity that combines exploration of the ruins with puzzle solving.

Where to take younger children

For under-fives, the long sandy beach at Redcar is hard to beat. Park on the seafront, walk along the esplanade, watch the trains pull in at Redcar Central and pick up fish and chips from one of the kiosks. Saltburn pier and the Cliff Tramway are a short drive away. The tramway is the oldest working water-balanced funicular in Britain and costs only a small fare each way, which makes the ride itself the attraction.

Guisborough Forest and Walkway is another good choice, with flat paths, a play area and forest trails that are buggy friendly. Hartlepool Marine Park and the National Museum of the Royal Navy at Hartlepool give an indoor option if the weather turns, with hands-on exhibits and the historic Trincomalee to climb aboard. Preston Park Museum in Stockton is also free to enter for the grounds and has a recreated Victorian street that older children love.

Quick tips for half-term in the North East

Book bank holiday Monday activities in advance because they sell out fast. Pack waterproofs even on bright days, since coastal weather changes quickly. Drive routes between Saltburn, Whitby and Pickering can be slow on bank holiday afternoons, so an early start pays off. If you want to combine the coast with city days out, base yourself in Stockton, Billingham or Guisborough, all within thirty minutes of Redcar, Saltburn and the A19.

Many of the best half-term events are free or low cost, but parking in Saltburn and Whitby fills up by mid-morning on the bank holiday weekend. Public transport is a sensible alternative for Saltburn from anywhere along the Esk Valley line, and the X4 bus links Stockton, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Saltburn directly.
