On our way back from a trip to Stoke on Trent we stopped off for an alpaca walk at Lucky Tails Alpaca Farm in Warwickshire. We had a Buyagift voucher and it felt like a lovely pre-birthday treat for me although we didn’t really know what to expect.
Days Out
Enchanted Woodland at Syon Park
Disclosure: We were invited on this day out for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.
Last weekend we were invited to Syon Park for their Enchanted Woodland event. It’s now been running for 16 years and yet we hadn’t been before – we had no idea what to expect and couldn’t wait for our trip.
Family Days Out in Stoke on Trent
We’ve been to Stoke on Trent a few times now and it’s always a fantastic base for a holiday or weekend away as a family. There’s so much to do in Stoke and the surrounding area, with so much history and a really eclectic mix of activities on offer.
Potteries Museum and Art Gallery Stoke On Trent
On a recent visit to Stoke, we had a few hours spare on our last morning and decided to visit the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery that was literally a stone’s throw from our hotel. With free admission, it was the perfect place to learn a little bit more about the area.
Hanley Park Stoke on Trent
When we stayed in Stoke on Trent for a weekend we were within walking distance of Hanley Park and so started our break there. We didn’t know anything about the area but as soon as we walked into the park we were blown away – we don’t have parks like this at home!
A Birthday Day Out at Beale Wildlife Park
For LP’s birthday at the end of August we went on a family day out to Beale Wildlife Park. It’s somewhere we loved when the children were tiny but haven’t really been back since Little Man started nursery so it was lovely to visit again.
Our Top Tips for Discovery Cove
We’ve now been to Discovery Cove twice and it’s one of our favourite places to visit on a holiday in Florida. Part of the Seaworld Parks group, it’s a fantastic day away from the Walt Disney World or Universal Studios theme parks and you can get so many Discovery Cove offers to make it a really worthwhile day out.
Museum of Illusions Orlando Review
Disclosure: We were invited on this day out for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.
On our recent epic three week holiday to Orlando, Florida, we were keen to see more than just the normal kind of tourist theme parks and well known attractions. Having previously been to Florida in 2018, we knew that there would be many quirky attractions and one such place was Museum of Illusions Orlando at ICON Park that we were invited to check out.
Surrey Fire and Rescue Open Day at Camberley Fire Station
Earlier this month we popped along to Camberley Fire Station for their Surrey Fire and Rescue Open Day. It’s something that happens every year but we’ve never been before. We didn’t know what to expect but ended up having a really lovely day.
Exploring Lightwater Country Park – Surrey
A local country park that we love to visit is Lightwater Country Park. On the edge of Lightwater village, the country park is just a short drive from us in Camberley and is situated right next to Lightwater Country Park Leisure Centre. Managed by Surrey Heath Borough Council, it’s a real hub for the local community and a great place to visit.
