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 Lambing Live For February Half Term 2023! Wroxham Barns have pulled it out the bag yet again for this half term with a lambing event which saw us get to see a baby lamb actually being born! Now, I can’t guarantee that’s what you’ll get if you pop along for an all inclusive day out by the broads but… I’d say you stand a VERY good chance! Their maternity ewe-nit is filled to the brim with sheep about […]

Fairground Frights At Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach! From the 26th of October to the 30th Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach will once again be transformed from its usual family friendly tourist attraction of rides, smiles and ice creams to the fright night shennanigans which have put it very firmly on the map for Halloween half term in Norfolk. Five whole nights of ghoulish fun and frolics with the back drop of the fun fair and a whole host of scares. We’ve […]
Wroxham Barns Pumpkin Festival 2022! If you’ve not been to Wroxham Barns over Halloween half term then you don’t know what you’re missing! It’s a fantastic school holiday day out with all the fun of the farm and fairground rides (which are always included in the price of your ticket – all incl, that’s what we like) but with added extras just for the season and this year is set to be bigger and better than ever before with their […]
Roarr! For The Holidays! It was Raffie’s 5th birthday over the weekend and for another year running he wanted to go to Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure to celebrate. I think it really is his most favourite place in the world and it doesn’t matter how many times we go, he always wants to see the Dippy Show, in the theatre, over anything else. This visit he also got to go and meet and greet with Dippy which was the icing on […]
Wroxham Barns For Witsun Half Term With Unicorns And Wizards! We had another absolutely tremendous day at Wroxham Barns yesterday as we slid into family half term fun with a high! For the Witsun half term it’s all about wizards and unicorns to accompany their usual fun of farm life, soft play, unlimited fairground rides and more, and with potions and wands to make, spells to cast and a whole field of giant garden games, it’s easy to train as […]
What’s On For Kids At Norwich Theatre Royal! What you’ll notice about Norwich in general is that these days we are really excellent at arts for children. We have theatre in both performance to watch and be a part of, in abundance and for that I’m incredibly grateful. When I was growing up here it was really only the Norwich Theatre Royal who provided any kind of drama classes and performances (aside from the Puppet Theatre but that was slim […]
