We have been putting together our plans for things to do in Nottingham for Christmas and we soon realised there are lots of events to keep kids busy for the festive holidays. We love this time of year and find that going to Christmas events form a huge part of our family traditions. We have hand picked…
We have been putting together our plans for things to do in Nottingham for Halloween and we soon realised there are lots of events to keep kids busy for October half term. We love spooky fun Halloween events that the whole family can enjoy and we have picked out the best in the region just…
You guys already know that we love live shows. It will come as no surprise then that when I was asked if I’d like to see OVO Cirque du Soleil in Nottingham that I was quick to take them up on the offer. I’ve seen Cirque du Soleil at the Nottingham arena before but the…
There are lots of places to eat in Nottingham but if you really like steak you might want to check out Bar + Block on Chapel Bar near Maid Marion Way. Seeing as it only opened a few months ago, it’s still considered to be one of the new restaurants in Nottingham so we were…
Over recent years, going to the theatre has become more and more accessible to children. I love taking the girls to see a show, and they love watching stories and characters be brought to life in front of their very eyes. We never fail to have a good time when we go to the theatre…
What makes for a memorable restaurant in your book? Is it a warm and friendly welcome? Perhaps it’s the comfortable dining experience? I’m pretty sure an excellent menu and high quality dishes will feature in your list somewhere, right? Well, if you are looking for an Indian restaurant in Nottingham that has all these bases…
Nottingham is an incredibly unique city in that it is brimming with independently owned shops and businesses. In some areas, you will probably find as many independently owned cafes, restaurants, and shops as you will find High Street chains. It makes for a really varied shopping experience especially when it comes to Christmas time and…
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t go into town as much as I used to. In fact it’s probably been years since I went out for a few drinks and some dancing. When I found out there was a Bierkeller in town though, I couldn’t resist popping along to find out what…
Weekends at home do not need to be dull, and you can always find an attraction or exhibit close to home that the whole family will enjoy. We had heard a lot about the Dinosaurs of China exhibition running at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham and decided to venture to down to see what all the fuss…
Rushcliffe Country Park is definitely our favourite place to take the kids near to our home, but it dawned on us today that we hadn’t been for sometime. Last year we would go and visit a couple of times a month in the warmer weather, but we don’t seem to have got into the same…
When thinking about where to take the kids to eat, I am a huge fan of buffet style restaurants with good quality food and a wide selection of dishes. We were recently invited to Cosmo Restaurant in Nottingham to try out their 5 star approach to the all you can eat buffet, and it definitely…
Birthdays aren’t complete unless you are having fun with family and friends. It also helps if they feature pizza and prosecco. I think the two go very well together and one of the best places to enjoy all of the above is in the relaxed atmosphere of a Pizza Express restaurant with the exciting new Spring…
Las Iguanas invited us to their restaurant in Nottingham this week to check out the new menus, including what’s on offer for kids. Las Iguanas is a South American restaurant & bar that I used to visit before having the girls. I hadn’t really thought about it being a family friendly restaurant to take kids to…
A few weeks ago, the girls and I were invited to the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham to find out what the Beanbag Music Club was all about. It’s been on my list of local activities to try for a while now so this was just the push I needed to take the girls along. The…
I have wanted to know what a show like Cirque Du Soleil is like for a long time, so when I got the chance to go down to the opening night of their latest show, Varekai at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena I literally jumped at the chance. If I could sum up my night in one…
We love to take the children to the theatre, and we are especially fond of going to the Djanogly Theatre at Nottingham Lakeside Arts. We have enjoyed some lovely performances with the children over the years and this Christmas was no exception. We were invited to see Beasty Baby, a collaborative family performance between The University of…
