Tell us about your favourite UK spring activity or day out

Share a tip on a fun, family day out that celebrates the arrival of spring in the UK – the best tip wins £200 towards a Coolstays break

After a long, grey winter, the first signs of spring are starting to appear. We’d love to hear about your favourite days out in the UK to celebrate the change of season and the arrival of longer, brighter days. From blossom trails and tulip displays in beautiful gardens, to birdwatching, bike rides, food festivals and farm visits to see newborn lambs, tell us about your favourite spring activities.

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, wins a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.
