Lapland UK: This week we went on a very special road trip to visit the most magical of all Christmas destinations. We set off from Nottingham in search of Lapland UK to find Santa and his Christmas elves. We were given a destination of the Enchanted Forest. Fortunately, sat nav had heard of it. It was…
Drayton Manor have helped us kick off the festive season with a new Christmas tradition. We were invited to Drayton’s Magical Christmas to meet the big fella himself, Santa Claus and enjoy all of our favourite Thomas Land rides.
Drayton Manor Theme Park invited us to the opening night of their amazing end of season finale. As brand ambassadors it was our pleasure to join them for their amazing Fireworks Spectacular. To celebrate their 65th Anniversary year the War Of The Worlds inspired fireworks display promised to be the park’s best yet.
We couldn’t let the bank holiday go by without a trip to our favourite theme park, Drayton Manor. If you caught up with this post, you’ll already know we squeezed in a trip to the beach. We have visited the park a lot over the summer as we have Drayton Manor season passes and are very…
There’s nothing like saving the best till last is there, and York’s Chocolate Story was definitely a highlight from our weekend in York. I’ve shared posts with you all week about our trip to Diggerland, our stay at Travelodge York Central and even some free things to do in York but you cannot pass through this beautiful English…
When I was planning our weekend away, I actually struggled to find free things to do in York. The city has a growing tourist economy and it really shows. The city boasts 6 million tourist visitors every year, that spend in excess of over £600 million so lots of the best attractions charge an entrance…
During our recent weekend holiday break in York, we were lucky enough to be invited to Diggerland in Castleford. I’ve seen a lot of blog posts about Diggerland over the last year, and was really intrigued as to what it was all about. I know what you’re thinking. I have daughters, and are they really going…
Cheap Days Out All parents will know that feeling of needing to do something with the kids, but not wanting to break the budget. Family days out can really take their toll on your bank balance but it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some cheap and cheerful days out for you and…
If you are looking for a family short break, I can’t recommend Liverpool enough as a place to visit. We went there recently really not knowing what to expect, and we ended up having one of the best short breaks we’ve ever had. People go to Liverpool for lots of different reasons. We saw plenty…
We were very lucky on our recent family weekend break to Liverpool to be invited to Knowsley Safari for a day out. None of us had been to Knowsley Safari Park before, so this was an amazing new experience for us to share together. Daddy didn’t even realise that safari parks even existed in this country so…
Recently Toyz World invited me and my family for a fab day out to play on their amazing BeBop bouncy castles at Hatton Adventure World. We met up with a group of bloggers and their families, on a lovely sunny day in July to enjoy some quality time and outdoor play. I took the opportunity…
We were all really excited about being invited to the In The Night Garden Party back in April, as not only did this mean hanging out with Upsy Daisy and Iggle Piggle but it also meant a trip to CBeebies Land at Alton Towers Resort. You already know that we love a good day out,…
You’ve probably gathered that we are not a family who likes to stay indoors and do nothing. If there is something to see or do we are there. This is why I love Nottingham so much as it has a great calendar of events through out the year, and there is always something to entertain…
You’ve probably heard this week that we were very excited about being invited to the In The Night Garden Party at Alton Towers. We arrived, fashionably late of course, with a very excited 3 year old in tow. I cannot tell you how many times she asked us where Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy were, but…
Do you ever find when you sit down to think about your next big holiday or even what to do at the weekend you draw a complete blank? With so many possibilities, decisions like this can be tricky and before you know it the moments are lost. The team at Love Holidays hate to think…
If you’re looking for free things to do with kids, then look no further. I’m always desperate to find activities to do with my children that don’t break the bank, or even better are free. When teen was small, money was pretty tight so I had to learn to be inventive and make the most…
