Free Ways to Have Fun in the Rain: 5 Ideas for Family and Friends.

According to The Sun: When the weather outside is rainy and gloomy, it can be harder to come up with fun ideas without spending a lot of money.

But there are plenty of free and fun ideas that you can try with friends or family.

Here are some options for how to spend your weekends with loved ones without emptying your wallet...

FLY WITH THE WIND:

Take advantage of windy days and make a kite to fly in your local park.

This is a great activity for kids of all ages.

You can find many guides online to help you create and decorate a kite — it might be a bit tricky, so it works best for children aged seven and up.

If you don't want to mess around, you can buy a ready-made one for just £3.50 at Hobbycraft.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW:

Dive into a new topic and learn something interesting by visiting a free museum.

In the UK, there are plenty of venues that don't charge admission, including most large museums in London.

You can find a list of free museums and attractions at whichmuseum.co.uk.

PLAY GAMES:

Rainy evenings are the perfect time for games at home.

Invite friends over and take turns hosting.

You don't even need to buy new games — you can play classic ones: charades or try the game 'Two Truths and a Lie', where one player states three statements and the others must guess which one is false.

SPA RELAXATION:

A visit to a spa is a wonderful luxury for a girls' night out.

But you can create a cozy corner at home with friends.

Light some candles, use face masks and chat over a bottle of wine.

You can find face masks at Boots for £1, or Nivea packs at Wilko for £1.29.
