Goldilocks And The Three Bears – The Maddermarket 2022 Pantomime! Pantomime – a fairy tale story given a twist and a wiggle to bring entertainment for the whole family during the festive season. Traditionally the back bone of theatre it would carry takings which could see them through the whole year when otherwise bottoms on seats were not so prolific. Over time this staple of the theatrical calendar became its most important, not just for the profit making but because […]
Winter Wonderland Norwich! Winter Wonderland Norwich has been keeping the Norfolk Showground warm for a couple of weeks now but we are proof that you can never be too late to this Christmas party after our rather festive visit this afternoon! This was one the big kids were mega excited about as quite a lot of things we do are mainly geared up for the little ones. Most of the little stuff is ok for big ones too while the […]
Wroxham Barns – The Christmas Experience 2022! Wroxham Barns is a changed creature since the days when I would take my baby Florence. Back then, more than 12 years ago when we first adventured there, it was a lovely little farm with a small play area, soft play and there were some rides you could pay extra for. The farm was always a great value afternoon out, but we rarely ventured to the ride area as when you have to […]
Goldilocks And The Three Bears At The Maddermarket Theatre Norwich! For the second year running in Norwich there’s really only one pantomime you need to book, and that’s the Sound Idea’s Theatre Company offering at the historic Maddermarket Theatre. Last year’s Cinderella was a triumph with the best, worst baddie in all the land played by none other than my delicious friend Anna Goode who once again is treading the vintage boards of this perfectly charming independent theatre in not […]
Baby Ballet Norfolk! We were recently invited to try the new Baby Ballet Classes for Central Norfolk and we loved them so much we’ve signed up for this next term too! Posie began the tinies class which is for babies aged 18 months to 3 years but there are classes for tots (6m-18m), movers (3y-4y) and Groovers (4.5y-6y). The classes run in various locations and are active every single day of the week with the exception of Sundays. We’ve been […]
October 2022 At Pensthorpe! We love ALL the seasons at Pensthorpe. The gardens change and move and grow. They become different colours and different places yet one thing is always the same, it’s a calm and beautiful place to be. I like each season for different reasons and have different places I like to walk depending on the weather and at Halloween half term, a time we have always been very fond of a visit in particular, my favourite way […]
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 […]
Norwich Castle Museum 2022! Yep, here I am talking about Norfolk Museums again because frankly, they’re so good they deserve another spot on the blog! Norfolk Museums are ten across the county and with a Norfolk Museum’s Pass (which we have) you can visit unlimited times to all of them for 12 months at the wonderfully inclusive price of £101.70 for a family consisting of two adults and as many children as you have. Yes, you heard that right, as […]
Back To School With Start-Rite 2022! I’m going to level with you, I HATE talking about “back to school” when we’ve only just broken up (or worse, when the shops start promoting it before they’ve even finished) however, unfortunately the deed to get ready is entirely necessary, especially when you have a larger family like mine. The school shoe shopping is probably the main biggie and so we have got it over and done with nice and early and I’m […]
