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 […]
Family Days Out
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 […]
Pip and Posy at Blenheim Palace! Last week, for the start of half term, we were very kindly invited to hang out at Blenheim Palace and having not been before, but taking a look at their new Pip and Posy themed playground on their website, we couldn’t wait! The palace is huge and the things to see are so varied and vast, it meant we had to be really decisive over what we wanted to see so I asked a […]
Wroxham Barns 2025! Why do I keep going back to Wroxham Barns? Because it brings smiles like this one, that’s why! And because this gorgeous Broads destination farm changes like a chameleon with the seasons, it’s hard not to find something new with every visit. We last went at Christmas for their spectacular which leaves me wondering why anyone spends money on something like Lapland UK, prior to that we’d enjoyed fireworks night, Halloween, summer fun with glamping and more […]
Dear Legoland’s Chief Executive Officers, I know, as the people where the buck stops, you would absolutely be interested to know what a truly terrible time lots of your guests have when visiting Legoland. I’m sure not ALL, for example my 6 year old, who is like a little puppy, would absolutely keep coming back for more; ever hopeful that “this time” WILL be the day he actually gets to go on lots of rides. But for so many with sense, […]
BeWILDerwood – Twiggle Tots! Weekdays at BeWILDerwood have never looked more affordable! If you have a little Twiggle Tot (ages 3 and under) then a special £10.50 price has been set for a tiny one, AND their grown up, to spend a day going wild in the woods! This offer is valid for weekdays during the whole month of June and if day 1 is anything to go by, is going to be VERY popular! We are long time fans […]
Easter At Pensthorpe – 2024! Will we be visiting Pensthorpe Natural Park, one of our favourite places this coming Easter holiday?! Well, of course! Pensthorpe has always been a staple in our school holiday calendar (it’s a staple all year round actually) and this coming break is no exception! Pensthorpe is the perfect mix of wholesome, outdoorsy exercise (needed with four children all fuelled with energy to burn) and fun play both inside and out. You absolutely don’t need children […]
Norwich Science festival 17th-24th February 2024! The Norwich Science Festival has begun for 2024 and as it runs from the 17th-24th of February, it covers the whole of half term. There’s a wealth of FREE activities on offer as well as some payable fun and it’s happening all over Norfolk. The hub is at the Forum library in the heart of the city centre where you will find daily activities on offer to be enjoyed in a free flow style. […]
Pensthorpe For February Half Term 2024! We are year round visitors to Pensthorpe taking full advantage of our annual pass which allows us visits even in school holidays! Posie and I regularly trip there during the week to have fun in the daily “messy mornings” held at the indoor play space “Hootz House” (all included in the entry price), followed by fun in the play area, gardens and wonderful playground, but in the school holidays we always like to go […]
Wroxham Barns For Every Occasion! I was at play group yesterday listening to some other Mums talking about how they’d ended up spending a small fortune at a pumpkin patch in Norfolk over half term and how unreasonable it all was. The place they’d been had charged them for the pumpkin (x 2 came to £12), charged them for the carving, the crafts and other activities and on top of that the experience had lasted only about an hour and […]
