Although the Doves were well travelled before POD came along, I love that we’re able to travel as a family now. There’s nothing better than discovering the World together and seeing the excitement through a four year old’s eyes.
The Family Travel Show, taking place at London’s Olympia, is the UK’s first exhibition completely dedicated to families who want to travel. Family holidays are precious memories in the making and a chance to spend that all important quality time together. Whether its a beach break, an all-inclusive cruise, skiing in Austria or a wildlife safari in South Africa, there’s something for everyone. And we’re giving away five pairs of tickets (kids under 16 go free).
Highlights of the show include:
The biggest collection of specialist family travel operators under one roof
Get face-to-face with the best family holiday providers and specialist operators. They will be on hand to offer advice on everything from all-inclusive luxury getaways, exciting cruise voyages, action-packed resorts and family-friendly villas to intriguing adventures, thrilling ski holidays and incredible wildlife safaris.

I think it would have to be one or two – either the Canadian Rockies or New Zealand. They are joint top of my bucket list!
It does look great doesn’t it, I am sad it looks like we will be travelling that week though as I would love a nosy round and the idea of meeting companies you might not normally hear about really appeals.
I’ve shared this as I bet loads of people would love to win this one x x
New Zealand
Anywhere in the world? At the moment it would be Canada. An outdoor, rugged adventure, with a familiar culture to nestle into!
What a fantastic sounding show – I wish I could just jet off and enjoy! x
Looks fab, I’ve shared.
What a fab show! I’d love to go but I’m actually doing some family travel of my own at the time!!!
I would love to take my family to Canada for a long holiday – having spent some time there when I was younger it would be great to go back!
I’ve never been skiing and quite fancy it! Great competition
The show sounds great – I’m looking forward to going along.
Goof luck to everyone entering. I often wish we lived back in Berkshire for all these events!
We are going to this – cannot wait
I would love to take the family to the Galapagos islands x
Good luck to everyone entering! I will surely be looking at such events when I have kids 🙂
Sounds like a good show, I think handing the camera to the kids is always a good idea they see things differently.
Good luck to those who are entering.
New York or back to Thailand x
I would love to come to this
This sounds amazing! I would love to go!
