I absolutely love that I am able to share so many trips to the theatre with my family. I really appreciate being able to share with them different opportunities to enjoy entertainment in all it’s various guises. After we saw Going On A Bear Hunt, we had the opportunity to see a completely different kind of…
We’re Going On A Bear Hunt, the children’s story by Michel Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. You’ve heard of the book right? Well, I have a confession to make. I think I might be the only parent of a small child who hadn’t heard of this story, until our recent visit to Djanogly Theatre at Lakeside Arts.
I took my 3 year old to see Grass at Lakeside Theatre this weekend. She was very excited as she enjoy’s the theatre a lot and Nottingham Lakeside is one of our very favourite places. We left Daddy and Little Pudding at home as I don’t think the 1 year old would have sat still like she used…
I hate to say it but I think summer is almost done. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting wetter and colder by the minute. The reality for us parents though is that the kids still need entertaining and getting out of the house, before everyone goes up the wall. As…
May half term saw another week of fun and frivolity at Nottingham Lakeside with the return of Wheee! The International Children’s Theatre & Dance Festival. We were lucky enough to be invited to enjoy the latest Luminarium from Architects of Air and to see Statik, the hilarious performance from Action Transport Theatre. This delightful story is…
We thought we’d stay local for a change this weekend, so packed up the kids and headed out to run a few errands, play at the local park and grab some lunch. There are plenty of places to eat in Nottingham, and West Bridgford has more than it’s fair share. It’s very popular as it’s…
We love Lakeside Arts here in Nottingham, it’s one of our favourite family places to go. We love the theatre, and walking round the park. I’ve recently discovered they have an archeology museum and the cafes are great for a coffee and cake stop. There’s definitely something for everyone. One of the highlights in the…
If you follow my blog regularly you’ll already know we are partial to a family meal out. As it was my birthday this week, it could not go by without some family dining. We had been invited to Millers Barn Beefeater, which was perfect timing given my birthday celebrations. Millers Barn Beefeater is situated just…
We have been buying tickets to go to the Children’s and Families events at the Djanogly Theatre since September last year, and everytime we go we have been buying the tickets for the next production. Last time I was feeling a little rushed, and made a snap decision to by the family tickets to the dance…
Spring is finally here. The sun is shining and the days are slowly getting warmer and longer. We can all finally start to emerge from our winter hibernation and start making the most of the great outdoors and open spaces.
This weekend we took a trip to the Beefeater at Castle Marina in Nottingham for Sunday lunch. It was a first time for all of us and being a family who likes to eat out we were really looking forward to giving it a try. First brownie point is it has it’s own car park….
We visit Stonebridge City Farm regularly in the summer but are a little guilty of neglecting it in the winter, when it needs the support most. Over the Christmas break we decided we’d visit. Princess was struggling a little not having nursery as an outlet for her active and curious nature, and as a result tempers…
This weekend we took a couple of trips to the theatre (because Mummy isn’t ever so good at checking her diary to see what’s already planned!). If you managed to catch up with this post you’ll know we’re trying out some ‘indoor’ activities with the girls now that Autumn has finally caught up with us….
Recently our family and some other amazing bloggers were invited to attend a special event at The Cornerhouse in Nottingham. We all arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed early one Sunday morning to enjoy a private Movies for Juniors screening of Muppets Most Wanted. We were greeted by some very helpful Cineworld staff who provided…
We took another trip to our favourite park this weekend with the Grandparents for Princess to enjoy yet more rides on the miniature railway. We took a slightly different path this visit and discovered a sensory garden we didn’t know existed. After reading Kate Fever’s guest post on tips for taking photographs this seemed like the perfect…
This weekend, we finally made it out for some proper fresh air. OK, it took us until 3pm to leave the house but we do have a two week old baby at home, so I thought this was pretty good going to be fair. Colwick Park isn’t far from our house, probably a mile as…
