Father’s Day 2026 falls on Sunday 21st June this year and if you’re looking for a way to celebrate without spending a fortune, you’re in the right place.
All across the UK, farms, parks, museums and attractions are throwing open their doors to treat dads to a completely free day out.
All you need to do is show up with your child! Please note that in some cases you need to book online but no matter what you always need to be with a paying child.
Here are all the deals I’ve found for you!

There aren’t many places where you can bottle feed a baby goat kid and a lamb before sitting down for a proper meal but Cotswold Farm Park is one of them.
This Father’s Day weekend, dads get in free when accompanied by any paying visitor.
While you’re there, you can meet over 50 rare breeds wandering the farm park, take part in the bottle feeding sessions, and round off the day with a meal at the Ox Shed restaurant, which has a brand new menu for 2026.
