Family elopement venues? Couple + 2 young kids

Help! I'm looking for a venue for us and our two young children (7+4), I originally had my heart set on "squirrels nest" but as gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing as it is, I think the kids would be bored quite quickly as there doesn't seem much around to do (if anyone knows there is please let me know!).


I'm thinking a beach elopement with the kids might be better, spend the day playing on the beach, get married and have pizza or something,
Or if there's any woodland type venues with fun things nearby to do with the kids. We're not the "relax" type of couple, we love to be doing something, getting married then feeding animals on a farm or playing in the sea, anything really.
Happy to consider anywhere at all, just don't want to spend a fortune as it's only the 4 of us but if it's the right venue...I'll stretch
If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear 🤍 thanks everyone xx

    I found through my research for our venue that there’s loads of venues in the Lake District that offer elopement style packages or ‘just us’ packages. You could get married and spend the rest of your trip climbing or paddle boarding, swimming or boating! We’re not having an elopement but the photographer we’ve booked over there certainly does a lot of elopement weddings so I think it’s quite a popular thing for the Lakes

    Bear in mind who could be your 2 witnesses when you are looking at options. I'm not sure if elopement packages include staff who act as witnesses for you.

    Thankyou, the ones I've contacted so far, all have staff happy to witness but I do have to remind myself to ask some of them 🫣
