'Best job in Britain' up for grabs - here's how to apply
The role is unpaid, but comes with a unique perk as the successful applicants get £10,000 worth of free holidays across Europe The best job in Britain is up for grabs, and it involves testing holidays for a year. The role doesn't come with a salary, but the perks are unbeatable. The lucky family who lands the Chief Family Holiday Tester position will receive £10,000 worth of free holidays across Europe. The chosen UK-based family will be whisked away on multiple trips to family-friendly resorts. They'll be tasked with testing everything from ice creams to sunbathing spots, and they should be as adept at rating waterpark slides as they are at enjoying a late-night cocktail once the kids are tucked up in bed. All flights, accommodation, and meals are included. The only requirement is that applicants must have at least one child under the age of 12. This unique opportunity is a collaboration between family day out platform Day Out With The Kids (DOWTK) and holiday giant TUI. They're looking for a family to test and review TUI's top family-friendly resorts. The winning family will be expected to provide honest feedback, share social content, and help understand what families truly value when planning their time away. A spokesperson for Day Out With The Kids said: "We want real families - the ones who pack snacks like pros, navigate kids' clubs with confidence and rate a splash park just as highly as a sunset cocktail. "Explorers, ice cream experts, pool-slide critics, parents who know the joy of an early breakfast and a rare, glorious lie-in." The job description states the candidates should be: "Full of personality and love family adventures. "Confident in creating content, photos, videos or short reviews. Happy to appear in DOWTK and TUI marketing with consent." All applicants need to do is head to the TUI website and find three hotels you'd love to stay at, one each in the price range of: under £500, £500-£1000 and £1000+ per person. Following this, fill out the entry form with the names of the hotels and answer any questions about your family. "We're not looking for influencers, just real families who love to travel and can share their honest experiences with us in photos, videos or written feedback." Applications close on 4 August.

KIDS can get into the UK's only attraction with construction rides for free this June, with one simple trick.

In total, there are four locations across the UK - Kent, Devon, Yorkshire and Durham. After signing up to a DOWTK pass, members will get an instant, unlimited access to discounts. One pass covers an entire family and this isn't just limited to people with kids.

All visitors need to do is show they have a DOWTK pass when they arrive at their chosen Diggerland. Children can experience operating their own digger, hunt for buried treasure or head to tenpin-bowling with a twist. Each site also has a 'Dig Inn' cafe, serving up a range of dishes including all-day breakfast, burgers and hot dogs .

What is Diggerland like? THE Sun's head of travel, Caroline McGuire shares her thoughts on Diggerland. Walt Disney came up with a huge princess castle, rollercoasters and themed attractions. But just off the M2 in Rochester, some genius suggested sticking a bunch of construction vehicles in the mud at an industrial park - and it proved a blinding day out. At Diggerland, you can dig for mud, "gold bricks", stones or toy ducks in proper construction site machinery. Diggerland has to be seen to be believed - and even then it's quite hard to compute. We spent the day riding dumper trucks around a gravel pit, digging stones out of a hole with a full-sized digger and riding around a muddy concourse while seated in an enormous bucket. In fact, there are quite a few variations on each of those themes. You can dig for mud, "gold bricks", stones or toy ducks. You can drive a dumper, take a digger safari, ride backwards in a bucket carousel - somehow, they've made 20 different rides from machinery. If that doesn't suffice, there are also plenty of coin- operated (you've guessed it) car and digger rides dotted around the place. With the exception of a couple of car attractions, everything comes straight off a construction site, and if you know any young kids you'll know there lies the appeal. My son can spot a crane or a dumper truck from a mile off, so even watching others dig while waiting in the queue was mesmerising. Not that the queues were long - in fact, they were surprisingly short. The price is decent, too. Three adults and a child cost £91 in entry fees, so long as you pre-book tickets. Obviously all of the offers aren't just for families with children, several are suitable for adults like discounts off cinema tickets. Many offers are exclusive to the pass and there are also a number of competitions that can be entered like winning £10,000 worth of family holidays.
