Easter Egg-Stravaganza AT Pensthorpe – 2026! 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 break […]
Wroxham Barns Easter Adventure 2026! 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 better […]
Cinderella At St George’s Theatre Great Yarmouth! Modern, yet traditional all in one; a juxtaposition, but here we are, and panto is meant to be a bit bonkers so we have it sticking to form in Cinderella at The St George’s Theatre in Great Yarmouth for 2025! We were invited back for a second year running to see the pantomime offering at St George’s Theatre in Great Yarmouth, and for a second year running, and despite my deep reservations about […]
My First Panto – Rapunzel At The Garage Norwich! Having visited the My First series of productions hosted at The Garage for a number of years, we always look forward to the next offering. This year’s production of Rapunzel didn’t disappoint! Written and originally directed by the very talented Daniel Burgess, this version is a reworking of a show we have seen (and loved) before, but still just as gorgeously inviting for little ones! the theatre space, as always, is […]
BeWILDerwood Presents Christmas 2025! BeWILDerwood has opened the marshes for the festive period again, and while it’s a little different in terms of experience, to a regular BeWILDerwood adventure, it’s certainly just as magical as always! The Boggles and Twiggles who live at BeWILDerwood, and who make up the cast of characters beneath the pages of Tom Blofeld’s stories (TB grew up on this land and wrote the stories before building the park) are very present alongside Christmassy characters and […]
The Wroxham Barns Christmas Experience for 2025 is exceptionally magical and I don’t think you’d find anything else quite like it for the price tag in the area. Top marks all round for the most fun, festive experience for children who will feel like they are in actual Lapland with the most realistic Father Christmas who really has made us question if he might just possibly be… He might you know!
Winter Wonderland Norwich 2025! It’s back, FREE to get into for the 2025 festive season, and better than ever we would say! Winter Wonderland Norwich has well and truly landed Father Christmas’s sleigh, with an incredibly festive bauble on top this year, and the fun doesn’t stop until January the 4th! Day and night the entertainment will be abundant in the Alpine Lodge so you have somewhere to relax and soak up the live music, as you get cosy before […]
Wroxham barns Halloween 2025! There are very many reasons to visit Wroxham Barns throughout the year, the farm, the park, the fun fair, soft play, glamping and camping, fireworks, Christmas, afternoon tea… And my favourite time to visit, Halloween! I mean, don’t get me wrong, we love glamping there in the summer and the Christmas offering is something else (more to come on the 2025 festivities soon), but there’s something about Halloween in general for me that pips it all […]
Banham Zoo Halloween 2025! Over half term I went with my friend, and a selection of our children, for a re-visit to Banham Zoo. We’ve been a few times recently and having been members pre-covid I had thought, on our previous visit, that it may have lost a little of its sparkle. It was still good but… I don’t know, I can’t put my finger on why, but it just felt a little flat. The penguins couldn’t be seen on […]
Prezzo Italian Kings Lynne! Prezzo Italian, as Prezzo has recently re-branded to show their Italian roots in full Mediterranean glory, has just had a brilliantly cosmopolitan revamp in decor when it comes to their Kings Lynn branch and, with its lush new make-over, we were invited to come and sample some of the delights on offer in the much loved Italian eaterie. We don’t have a Prezzo in Norwich (more’s the pity), but have visited in other parts of the […]
