There’s something really special happening at Tatton Park in Cheshire this Christmas. Their 12 Days at Tatton experience is now open and it is phenomenal! There is lots to see and do between now end the end of the year. We went over the weekend to have a look for ourselves. 12 Days of Christmas …
This evening we were invited along to The Octagon Theatre in Bolton to watch one of the first performances of A Christmas Carol. Octagon is a gorgeous little theatre where the stage is in the centre of the room, with the audience seated on all sides. I’ve never actually been before so I wasn’t sure …
Since yesterday’s post on Christmas Theatre in Manchester was so well received, I thought it only fair to do another for Lancashire. I get lots of press releases for shows, especially at this time of year, so I’ve bundled them all together here for your reference. You’re welcome! If you are a Lancashire theatre running …
Last week we went to see the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra with the boys. Having never taken the children to see an orchestra before I really wasn’t sure how much they would enjoy it. The performance was advertised as being 60 minutes long and I thought that would probably be enough really. It’s a long time …
We’ll have been on two family holidays abroad this year and so next year we’ll probably holiday here in the UK. We love this country and all it has to offer holiday makers. Granted, the weather could be better but you can’t have everything! I’m hoping for a road trip in Scotland and maybe a …
We had such a fun time at Digital Kids Show last year. The boys had an amazing time there in 2016 and spent a full day learning, having fun, meeting their idols and being thoroughly entertained. To see what we got up to last year, have a look at our video here. This year is …
We spent some time down at the Bolton Food and Drink Festival last weekend, and you may have seen some of my social media coverage about it on Saturday and Sunday. I ambled around the stalls and took a peek at the magnificent setting for The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, but I needed to be …
On Sunday I returned home from my first Just So festival with my husband, children and some lovely blogger friends. My bones ached and my shoes were filthy. I unpacked six laundry loads worth of muddy, paint spattered, feather covered clothing. Tired, I surveyed the endless assortment of ‘stuff’ we had taken camping. My eyelids …
I absolutely love festivals. I never went to any before I had children and the first one I did go to was a free one near my house, so you can definitely say I tiptoed into the realm of festival life. Since then though I’ve tried to go to as many family friendly festivals as …
We were in Orlando last month and although most days were brilliant, the day we spent at Wild Florida was probably one of my favourites. Before the holiday I spent time looking for different things to do in the area and trying to schedule things in on different days. I found Wild Florida through Trip …
