A Day Out at MCM Comic Con London

Posted on June 5, 2024July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to days out in London, Dann and I really both enjoy gaming events. As we both work in games, we’ve been to our fair share of gaming showcases, comicons, events and the like. MCM Comic Con London aims to be a family event for all ages, full of geek culture. We were delighted at being invited back once again and took a much slower time exploring the venue. MCM Comic Con London is absolutely massive – expanding across two halls at the Excel, full of different stands, cosplay, interactive bits and so much more.

A Day Out to The McManus – Dundee’s Art Gallery and Museum

Posted on May 29, 2024October 15, 2024 by Jupiter

While in Dundee, I went to The McManus – an art gallery and museum with a big focus on Dundee throughout history. There are a total of eight galleries within this museum, that explore both the history of Dundee and the art that has been created there. This museum was originally built as a memorial to Prince Albert, but over the years has been added to and changed.

Exploring Calton Hill in Scotland

Posted on May 24, 2024November 18, 2024 by Jupiter

When I first landed in Edinburgh, on my first ever solo trip away, I saw a giant tower on a hill and wanted to go explore it. I only had around 24 hours in the city, and though it was a giant hill, I figured it would have been a good place to really see the city from above. There are plenty of places to stay in Edinburgh, but I was just around the corner from this specific landmark. This turned out to be Calton Hill, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was actually the first park in Edinburgh, according to the signs.

The Colour of Dinosaurs at the Polka Theatre

Posted on May 20, 2024July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] If you are a regular reader of our blog, you’ll know that we adore the Polka Theatre. This theatre is far more than a place to watch performances; there is a reading area, a building block area, a dress up area, and outdoor area – it’s ideal for taking toddlers! We’ve been going to the Polka Theatre since Robin was a toddler and she still enjoys the magic of going back. This time, we went along to see The Colour of Dinosaurs – a play that’s heavily music themed, including a real palaeontologist that had actually discovered what color dinosaurs are!

Jason and the Adventure of 254 at the Wellcome Collection

Posted on May 17, 2024July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

I had personally not been to the Wellcome Collection in London, which is a free museum and library that focuses a lot on health! There are a bunch of exhibitions, collections, talks, and different events going on, which all aim at supporting science that solves the urgent health challenges people are facing. I have a friend who’s very much interested in health and healthcare, and visits the Wellcome Collection from time to time. She took me to see the Jason and the Adventure of 254 time limited exhibition!
