Dann is a huge fan of Christmas Markets and I am a huge fan of themed-limited time events. So when Dann said “hey, do you want to go to the Frankfurt Christmas Market Birmingham this evening”, despite living about 3 hours away, I was well up for the adventure! We’ve been to Christmas Markets before, but hadn’t made it to this specific market, which states that it’s very German inspired.

[Ad- gifted experience] The Polka Theatre is our favorite children’s theatre to attend! We’ve been there quite a few times over the years – and it’s really designed with little ones in mind. There is a dress up area, a bunch of toys, and a reading area while you are waiting for your show to start. There is also an outdoor play area enclosed, and a cafe. We’ve loved exploring this area over the years and feel it really creates such a great atmosphere and makes this theatre feel like a community hub!
Each and every year, Dann, Claire and I all go to a wintertime light walk, checking out all of the Christmas decorations and feeling the festive season.

We love to get out and about, especially on the days our children are off school! During the holiday season, there are a lot of lovely, themed places to visit in and around Essex, that can make the holidays shine even more than ever! Some of these places have options to meet Santa himself, others are just fun activities that are only available during the Christmas months. Either way, I am sure you will find an activity you and your family enjoy.

Winter is a magical time of year, and even though England doesn’t generally get a bunch of snow so the most magical thing to sort of walk around and look at, in my opinion, is the various Winter Light Walks! These light walks are all ones we have attended, that we enjoyed. It’s worth noting that each year they might have a different theme or new light encounters that add a bit of new flair to the event.
