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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Pensthorpe Pumpkin Festival! From the 25th of October until the 3rd of November, for the whole of a Norfolk half term, Pensthorpe is celebrating all things spooky season with its brand new pumpkin festival! Though the clever chaps at our family fave, Pensthorpe, have been offering pumpkins and a carving station during Halloween week for a few years, their new pumpkin patch is a first for the 2024 season for them, and we, in turn, got to be some of […]
Wroxham Barns For Halloween 2024! There’s a LOT going on for Halloween at Wroxham Barns this year and we’ve already kicked off with trying out their Pumpkin Patch! New to the Wroxham Barns schedule for this time of year, the pumpkin field is a stand alone visit and you neither need a ticket to the farm, nor need to pay to get into the “Pick Your Own Field”, you just pay what you pick and would like to take home. […]
Glamping at Wroxham Barns 2024! I’ve thought about glamping at Wroxham Barns for the past couple of years. We visit often to see the farm, and I’ve had a look inside the bell tents before and thought what tremendous value they are so it’s always been on my list! Now, finally for 2024, we’ve managed to do it! I paid £130 per night for a bell tent with all the trimmings (it’s £25 for your bedding if you don’t want […]
Camping at Pensthorpe 2024! I’ve long thought camping at Pensthorpe would be a brilliant idea and they’ve finally taken the plunge for summer 2024 with their very own site set up for both tent pitches, and their own glamping bell tents! There are 24 tent pitches (non-electric) and six bell tents which are home to proper beds (a double and three singles) as well as being decorated with fairy lights. If staying in a bell you just need to bring […]
Wroxham Barns Little Farmer’s Club! Wroxham Barns has just launched their new venture, a mid-week, term time, mark on their calendar, the Wednesday Little Farmer’s Club!
