Worth Every Penny… Almost: Our Honest Norwich City Mascot Experience Review!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop When I was little, a man called Dick Cann lived on our road. He was responsible for organising the Norwich City ball boys and mascots and, whenever they were short of a child, he’d appear at someone’s front door asking if one of us could help out. Before long we’d all be piling into a minibus and heading off to Carrow Road much to my chagrin, it was […]
PrimEvil 2026 Review: The Perfect Teen Night Out (and a way to spend time with your big kids)!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop As parents, you reach a point where family days out become a bit trickier. The little ones are easy enough to entertain, but teenagers? That’s a whole different challenge. Which is exactly why our recent visit to PrimEvil Scare at ROARR! felt like such a win. We were lucky enough to attend what you might call the dress rehearsal night ahead […]
The Rock n Roll Circus: Norwich’s Summer Showstopper!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop There are summer days that just stamp themselves into your memory, aren’t there? The ones where the sun is out, the music is loud, and the whole family is riding that wave of excitement that only a proper festival can bring. This year, the Rock n Roll Circus rolled into Norwich and honestly, it felt like someone had raided my personal playlist and booked every single band I adore. A stella […]
Roarr! The Norfolk Day Out We Love… Even When It Drives Us Mad!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop There are some places that just become part of the family rhythm, aren’t there? The ones you return to again and again because they slot so neatly into real life and when somewhere embraces every kind of day: sunny days, drizzly days, days when the kids are bouncing off the walls and you need somewhere that can absorb all that energy without absorbing your sanity, well, […]
Wroxham Barns – Summer Holidays 2026! Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop I’d probably say it’s my favourite season at Wroxham Barns whichever time of year we visit! The family who run it help the farm chameleon so beautifully into each with each school holiday, to match the weather and the vibe, that it’s very hard to not think “best day ever”, whenever we get home from a day there! Perhaps then, every season is actually my true favourite, but boy… Summer is glorious! […]
The Science Museum – Summer Holidays 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop The Science Museum has always been one of those places that feels woven into the fabric of my childhood thanks to my Grandmother who took me when I would stay with her in London, and now into my children’s too. Every visit carries a little nostalgia, a little discovery, and this latest trip, exploring the new space gallery was no exception. The old space exhibition had been there for around forty years, […]
Shakespeare’s Globe Tour – Summer Holidays 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre has that magical ability to make history feel alive, and our 50‑minute tour did exactly that. It was interesting, entertaining, and unexpectedly immersive from the moment we stepped inside. Raffie, my eight year old, was the one who’d asked to go fresh from studying a bit of Shakespeare at school; and I’ll admit I’d quietly wondered whether the reality might bore him. But no! He was utterly captivated, saying […]
Sunshine Adventures at Pensthorpe: Wild Rootz, Wildlife & a Half‑Term Poo Trail!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop A day at Pensthorpe in full sunshine is basically childhood bottled — wild, messy, nature-soaked joy with a side of ice cream and muddy ankles. It’s one of those places that somehow manages to be both beautifully curated and wonderfully wild, and this visit reminded me exactly why we keep going back – which we have been doing ever since Florence was a baby! Gardens That Feel […]
Easter Egg-Stravaganza AT Pensthorpe – 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop It’s been a while since we visited Pensthorpe, not because we don’t love it, but because school has stolen Posie and gone are the easy days where an annual pass saw us there every week. I miss that, but to fnd the silver lining, I can confirm it’s even more exciting when you’ve missed it! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that, and to make a return visit during the Easter […]
Wroxham Barns Easter Adventure 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Wroxham Barns go all out, every season, reinventing themselves to fit to the mood of the moment and it is so appreciated – we absolutely love the farm, the park and the dedication they show to making things spooky for Halloween, festive for Christmas and in the summer, oh the summer is just so wonderfully welcoming, with camping and glamping to run alongside all the regular fun that it’s hard to tibk if a […]
