Festival season is well and truly under way isn’t it! Everywhere you look on social media, someone has either been or are planning to go to a festival this summer. If you live in Nottingham the best way to kick off the summer is with our very own Splendour Festival! It’s the perfect way to…
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…
I’m really not a huge fan of having a bored 4 year old and 6 year old at home over the summer holidays. Can you relate? We’ve actually been on the look out for some new days out near Nottingham to take Brook and Indie for this very reason. Our visit to Timber Festival in…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
I don’t know how I did it, but I managed to keep it a secret from the girls that they were going to be seeing Frozen Disney On Ice at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham. Bless them, it didn’t even dawn on them what was happening when I said they could both wear a Frozen…
My daughter and I were lucky enough to be invited to the Nottingham Contemporary to find out more about their summer exhibition and free family activities. I love introducing my family to new experiences, so I jumped at the chance to pop along. My daughter really enjoys arts and crafts, so I knew she would…
Thai food is one of my favourite cuisines, so when Thaikhun invited us to try their restaurant at the intu victoria centre in Nottingham, they literally didn’t have to ask me twice. I popped onto the website, and knew immediately it would be right up our street, or perhaps more accurately, right up a street…
Highfields Park in Nottingham is one of our very favourite places to go, and my daughter and I visited after going to the theatre on Sunday to see The Elves And The Shoemaker at Lakeside Arts. Princess had the scooter and I had the camera and we enjoyed getting some fresh air together. It was…
We’ve just got home from a very magical afternoon at Nottingham Lakeside Arts Djanogly Theatre caching up with their latest big adventure, Neverland. The kids are busy making pictures and I’ve taken straight to the blog to tell you about this fantastic Christmas panto currently showing in Nottingham.
