On our way back from the wedding we recently attended in Wales, we decided to drive into Swansea to find somewhere to eat and explore. We had some time to kill, the sun was shining after a night of heavy rainfall, and the girls needed to stretch their legs & tire themselves out for the …
At the weekend we headed to Birmingham Sea Life Centre to collect our Ambassador annual passes (yay! Looking forward to a summer holiday full of Sea Life visits), and check out their new Lego City Deep Sea Explorers event. As soon as we were into the centre the girls headed for their favourite area – …
On Sunday we headed up to Tatton Park for Geronimo Festival, which was buckets of fun! I’ll be posting a no doubt photo-heavy post in a few days here on the blog, but for now you can get a peek of the action with this video on my YouTube channel. We had an amazing day and …
This Sunday we are heading up to Tatton Park to attend a brand new family festival, Geronimo! We have been given press accreditation to the show in order to check it out and share the fun here on Mama Geek. The festival has six different zones, and it sounds like so much fun, I’m sure the …
We were lucky enough to be invited along to the opening ceremony of the new Thomas Land Expansion! It opened over the Easter holidays, and Georgie and Lydia were very excited to see what was new at their all-time favourite theme park. We took along Georgie’s very best friend Sophie too, to join in the fun.
We live around 45 minute drive from Drayton Manor, home of Thomas Land, and so we are fairly regular visitors to the park. Our train mad pair of girls love all of the Thomas and Friends rides they have there, and our last visit for the Christmas experience was simply magical. Georgie and Lydia are mini-thrillseekers and always try to go on every ride possible when we visit!
We’ve been doing the Cadbury Easter Trails with the kids for a few years now, at various National Trust properties (Hanbury Hall in 2014, Buckland Abbey in 2013). This year we were unsure that we would get to do one, as we have been incredibly busy over the Easter holiday doing up the girls bedroom. …
A week or so ago, we were invited to come along and check out the new Sea Stars attraction at The National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham, which is home to a wide variety of starfish species. I’ve been completely buried in a world of DIY since then (post with the results of that soon!) so I haven’t had energy to open my laptop until now.
On Friday afternoon, we headed to the intu Merry Hill shopping centre to check out their “Elf School” Father Christmas experience. Georgie and Lydia were joined by Georgie’s best friend Sophie and they were all very excited to be on an outing together! We ate some lunch then headed straight to the Elf School.
Ad disclosure: We were provided with free tickets in order to experience & blog about Hatton’s Enchanted Christmas Kingdom event. This post reflects my honest opinion on our day. We were invited back to Hatton Adventure World so that we could check out the Enchanted Christmas Kingdom event, and we went along on Sunday to take …
Yesterday we spent the morning at a local Brewers Fayre “Pub Restaurant” to celebrate the opening of the chain’s first “Play at Brewers Fayre” facility. The new soft play area at The Guild pub at Bromsgrove is the next step in their partnership with Beano, whose characters already adorn the kids menu.
