Roarr! For Easter 2022! Without a doubt Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure in Lenwade, Norfolk (known to many as simply “the dino park”) is one of our favourite days out ever! Raffie loves it so much he’s asked almost every day since his birthday visit in October when we will be going again and this weekend he finally heard the word he’d been waiting for “today”, to much excitement! I’ve actually been planning on buying an annual pass just for me and […]
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 […]
Wroxham Barns For February Half Term 2022 – Lambing Live! Lambing Live is happening right now at Wroxham Barns for February Half Term and after our (very cold so wrap up warm) visit this week we are yet again singing the praises of how they run this fabulous resource for children! It’s not just a jolly on the farm with play equipment (indoor and out), a fun park (with all inclusive rides) and for this school holiday a maternity wing […]
Pensthorpe And Poo For February Half Term! I wouldn’t ordinarily put the words “poo” and “Pensthorpe” together, Pensthorpe Natural Park being the antithesis of poo, however, this half term they’re embracing the plops in a big way! Pensthorpe, always a favourite with not just us, but actually anyone I’ve ever spoken to who’s visited, has geared itself up for the holidays with not one, but TWO trails especially for the school break and the theme? It’s all about poo! What […]
Cinderella Family Theatre At Norwich Maddermarket For 2021/2022! We went to a mini Cinderella Pantomime in Norwich for younger ones a few weeks ago and it seems Cinderella is the order of the day for panto in Norwich right now as yesterday we headed to the Maddermarket Theatre for a more traditional version with the bigger kids! The Sound Ideas Theatre Company bring a most brilliant version to the stage this Christmas from now until the 31st of December and […]
Moon On A Stick’s Jack Frost At Norwich Theatre Royal! Starting this weekend at Norwich Theatre Royal’s Stage Two, Moon on a stick Productions brings Jack Frost to life! An alternative pantomime option for younger children is this charming show which uses puppetry and music to tell their enchanted story. aimed at children aged 3+, with a shorter running time than a traditional theatre production at just 45 minutes and it sounds like a perfect introduction to festive theatre and […]
Pensthorpe Christmas 2021! What’s on at Pensthorpe Natural Park this festive month? Absolutely tons but it’s no surprise that their Christmas offerings have been VERY popular and are mostly sold out. You can absolutely still soak up the festive lights and ambiance however and a visit, as always, comes highly recommended from me! Pensthorpe really is the most beautiful day out and with a crisp walk around the lake before some major fun on the extensive playground before a warm […]
MY FIRST PANTO 2021: CINDERELLA ROCKS AT THE GARAGE, NORWICH! This morning we were invited to the press performance of Cinderella Rocks at the Garage in Norwich. Cinderella Rocks is the 2021 offering from My First Panto and as always, it’s flipping awesome. All the more awesome of course to be back after the Covid hiatus of 2020 with a massive hurrah that theatre is back in general but an even bigger cheer for children’s theatre to be up and […]
The Thursford Christmas Spectacular And Enchanted Journey Of Light 2021! All year round Thursford Steam Engine Museum is just that, a wonderful museum of steam engines which is well worth a visit but… Making like a caterpillar for 10 months of the year, come November, the butterfly of Thursford emerges from a chrysalis and it is now that she truly comes to full her full potential! If you’ve not seen the Thursford Christmas Spectacular before then you’ve missed out for […]
Celebrating 50 Years Of Learning Made Fun With Orchard Toys! Orchard Toys are celebrating 50 years of learning made fun and is it any wonder they have had SUCH longevity when they make games that children remember even when they’re much older and don’t really play them anymore. Having had two older ones and then a gap before two little ones, my big kids get to relive their favourite programmes (who doesn’t love playing the game of what you used […]
