Looking for something different to do with the kids over the holidays? Why not treat them to a day out in Brighton? Although a great place to head for serious retail therapy, great food and a brilliant night out, the East Sussex seaside resort is also great for families and …
Dinotropolis is a new indoor attraction for children in Bluewater shopping centre, Kent. Situated in the Plaza, next to the Showcase cinema and up a flight of stairs, it’s well hidden to shoppers but when we went on the second Saturday that it had been open, it was already very busy. …
We have been going to the Christmas Grotto at Brookside Garden Centre in East Peckham, Kent ever since 2014. At the time, my oldest was one year old, and my youngest wasn’t even born! So you could say it’s become something of a family tradition. This year we will be making …
On Saturday, I took a trip London with Discover Leicester Square, to see what they have on offer for children and families over Christmas. It was just me and my oldest, who will be turning five in a few days. It was so easy. I had no fear she’d run …
