Snow White At St George’s Theatre Great Yarmouth! Who knew that pantomime in a small theatre would be the very best pantomime of all?! Well, yes, I have to admit, I knew! But if you haven’t been privy to this piece of information yet, then take it from me and run with it. Sure, booking big theatres with big names as their stars can be fun, and there’s no two ways about it, ALL theatre is struggling financially so supporting […]

Little Live Pets My Walking Penguin – Waddles! The Little Live Pets My Walking Penguin – Waddles (by Moose Toys – £24.99) is one of this year’s top 20 toys as announced by the independent Toy Retailer’s Association earlier on this month! This is one of those ones you’re going to be kicking yourself come Christmas Eve when it’s all sold out if you haven’t snapped it up as it spans interest in such a vast age range that it’s […]
Crazy Forts For Christmas! What do all kids love to play? Building dens! that’s what! And if you’re a parent then you’ll know the pain of having all the furniture rearranged, with all the blankets that can be found draped over make shift forts of sofas, chairs and anything else which will give leverage to a structure. And that’s great but… Not terribly tidy, or practical, and, let’s face it, not easy either! I saw something recently at a press […]
Cinderella Rocks 2024 – At The Garage Norwich! Cinderella Rocks is back at The Garage in Norwich for the 2024 panto season and for my money I’d choose it over the big theatres any time. Supporting small theatre is a beautiful thing, it helps support your community, but more than that, it’s just really, really good! A cast of three fiesta sisters, and this is the story of Cinders, now “Ella” as you’ve never seen her before (unless you saw […]
Winter Wonderland Norwich 2024! Until the 5th of January the fun will continue at Winter Wonderland Norwich, which means you’ve got LOADS of time to make a festive visit! We were booked to visit their opening weekend but the poor things had to close because of very windy weather. We will get there… We definitely don’t want to miss out on their ice skating rink, but I needed to tell you all about it before we go because time is […]
Stick Man Live 2024! Stick Man Live has been a stalwart of the London Christmas theatre scene for more than a decade a decade and I’ve been a consistent visitor to rvmeview for my blog. Itt never gets old, I, and my children (more importantly), love it every year and have failed to see how Freckle Productions could have made it any better – it’s simply brilliant. However, this year it does come back with a bit of an extra […]
Wroxham Barns For Christmas 2024! Putting feet wrong is not something Wroxham Barns do (to my knowledge) and that’s why we keep going back. They chameleon into each season in what seems to be a seamlessly, effortless (and yet I know, in actual fact, a tremendous amount of work goes on behind the scenes) journey to being the best family day out in Norfolk! Christmas 2024, and the experience they are offering, is no exception. It’s totally and utterly, fantastically […]
WeRChristmas! I LOVE Christmas, love it! The food, the lights, the presents (giving more than receiving these days even would you believe) and most of all, the time it gifts my family to spend moments making magical memories! What I don’t love, comes with a double edged sword, because it’s the decorating. While I LOVE the decs, having them up and being all festive in my home, I’m always slightly aware when putting them up, that at some point they […]
The Thursford Christmas Spectacular and Enchanted Journey of Light 2024! The Thursford Christmas Spectacular – Well, what can we say, other than the description “does what it says on the tin” and couldn’t be more apt in that! Thursford is a year long plan in the making, which comes to fruition in November and positively blooms until Christmas. Until the 23rd of December, usually twice a day, this enormous masterpiece of a show, which has been setting Thursford alight for […]
