Last weekend we were invited to Carters Steam Fair in War Memorial Park in Basingstoke. It’s the sort of day out we’d never been on before and the children were so excited – such traditional fun! We were so pleased that the fair was going to be fairly local to us and couldn’t wait to
When we had our recent mini city break in London, we decided to do things that we hadn’t done before along with a few favourites. On the Saturday, we had booked a visit to Kensington Palace and its private gardens using our Historic Royal Palaces membership. We booked the slot in advance as it is

One of our favourite days out during the summer holidays was a trip to Amberley Museum near Arundel, West Sussex with Lauren and the kids. We were just starting to get back into the swing of days out and this outdoor museum seemed like the perfect trip – and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more.
On our holiday in Shropshire, we needed an all weather attraction to go to in case the good old British weather played its usual games. We searched locally and came across RAF Cosford.
