Ellie Graham of Visit Herts picks out some rather unique ways to celebrate with Dad on 15th June
While we’re sure that Dad loved those socks you got him last year (and the year before that…), we think it might be time to shake things up a bit and give him a Father’s Day to remember. Coming up on Sunday 15th June, you’ve got plenty of time to browse our top picks for days out together, from gin tastings to driving adventures, that the whole family can enjoy together.
Unforgettable Days Out in Hertfordshire for Father’s Day 2025
Puddingstone Distillery
Just a few minutes away from Tring is the award-winning Puddingstone Distillery, ideal for the botanical-loving dads out there. Open every Friday and Saturday, with select tours on Thursday evenings, you can get to know the spirits on site from the experts.

Hatfield Park
A celebration of all things Land Rover returns to Hatfield Park this year for their much-loved Landies on the Lawn event. An eclectic display of timeless, classic vehicles, we know this will tick the box for many motor-head Dads out there. And to please everyone in the group, their Mini Rovers experience will see the little ones honing their driving skills in an off-road obstacle course.

What better way to celebrate Dad in a memorable way than with medieval jousting?

What’s better – with under threes and Season Ticket Holders going free, this truly is a day out for the whole family.
