Irish Ferries has a number of options for families looking for a quick getaway this October Band Holiday or mid-term break, writes Trish Whelan.

To celebrate the Annual Scarefest event at Alton Towers Resort in Staffordshire from 19 October to 3 November, Irish Ferries is offering packages for two adults and two children from €112 per person from now until 3 November, inclusive of a full day's pass at the theme park, 3 nights' accommodation with breakfast and return car cruise ferry crossing.

Other UK ideas might include a cost-saving break to a number of Haven Holiday parks with fun for all ages, adults included, while Irish Ferries fares from Dublin to Holyhead and Rosslare to Pembroke start at €113 each way for a car and driver.
