Yorkshire Wildlife Park’s Winter Illuminations have been taking place for a few years now. There are over 2,400 metres of illuminated trails with giant hand-crafted lanterns and many twinkling lights to light your way. The illuminations usually start in late November and finish in mid-January. Tickets for the illuminations do not include day entry to […]
If you love to travel as much as I do then practically anywhere in the world will be on your bucket list. I have never had a holiday to Germany before and only ever visited it on a day trip to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. Germany is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go to but I […]
Sri Lanka is not a country where you would opt for a one-destination stay. There is so much to explore, and to see enough of the major sights means staying in different places. I have put together a family-friendly itinerary for two weeks in Sri Lanka. The hotels are located from the centre of Sri […]
The Scottish Highlands are one of the world’s most spectacular places to enjoy a holiday. They are the perfect destination for a luxury family lodge holiday. What could be better after an exciting day exploring than arriving back at your luxury lodge to chill out and recap all the day’s adventures? The Hollie’s Retreat offers […]
The Sooty show is currently on tour again until at least April 2024. My son was first introduced to Sooty when we met him at Springfields, Spalding at a free outdoor mini-show. He fell in love with Sooty and his friends just as I did when I was his age. Sooty is a British institution. […]
One thing we enjoy doing is going to see a major muster by the English Civil War re-enactment group the Sealed Knot. They reenact a number of battles from the period and one of our favourite re-enactments was the battle of Edge-hill. This couldn’t take place at the site itself but was held nearby at […]
A little while ago we enjoyed a wonderful luxury woodland break at North Star club near York. The site is set in 500 acres of beautiful woodlands and has 8 unique woodland suites. We stayed in the Sitwell Suite which I will review in my post below. Check-in at North Star club is between 4 […]
We really enjoyed taking our touring caravan to Searles Leisure in Hunstanton, Norfolk. We visited in the height of summer which we had to book way in advance. This was mostly to benefit from a cheaper rate but also so that they weren’t sold out. The price I paid included entertainment passes. You can also […]
I have had my eye on Turtle Bay in Nottingham for a while now. They have over 40 restaurants across the UK and are the only chain, on our shores, serving Caribbean food. It’s not a cuisine we eat much of so I was keen to try it out. I am a big fan of […]
It’s that time of year again. Time to start thinking and planning for the summer ahead. Why not consider a summer activity holiday abroad? Are you the kind of family that likes to get out and about and make life that little bit more epic? Then read on for ideas and inspiration. Today I’m bringing […]
This list was mostly made by our now nearly 13-year-old when he was just 7. I have added a few myself afterwards, but these are mostly his ideas, and I feel they work pretty well for just about all ages. This is a UK-based list of all the ultimate summer bucket list things to do […]
Sundown Adventureland in North Nottinghamshire is a great theme park for under 10s. During the winter they transform into one of the best places to meet Santa in the East Midlands. This is a review from a previous year and some aspects may not be the same this year. Please check their website. Sundown Marketplace […]
