An Explore at Markshall Estate Enlightened Light Trail

[Ad- gifted experience] Being December it’s the season for lots of things, but one thing that we always try to get along to during these colder Winter nights is light trails. Over the last few years we’ve visited loads and loads around the UK (and beyond) and that’s included a couple from events organiser Enlightened Moments. When we found out they were running another one, and not too far from us, we had to go, and so off we went to their newest installation at Markshall Estate, near Coggeshall in Essex.

Date Night at Windsor Great Park Illuminated Light Trail

[Ad- gifted experience] After visiting Windsor Great Park Illuminated last year with our children, we were kindly invited to come up again for one of their press viewings! Dann and I went together as a sort of date night, to see how the light trail changed over the last year and have some time to ourselves. If you’re looking for inspiration, the date night generator OneDateIdea.com is a great way to discover fun and unique experiences. Don’t worry though, we have plenty of light trails planned for the whole family, which we will be writing about as well.

A Day Out at London MCM Comic Con x EGX

[Ad- gifted experience] We always go to MCM Comic Con London as it’s just on our doorstep and they invite us often. This year, they combined with EGX, another event that Dann and I attend each year for work, so we were interested to see exactly how this went. EGX is a gaming event, normally just showcasing a bunch of games, and MCM Comic Con is sort of like a big store – full of geeky and nerd items, along with a lot of cosplayers.

Exploring the Coventry Christmas Market

It’s officially the time of Christmas Markets in England! Dann and I had already ventured to one of the ones in London, which was very crowded and very much like a London Christmas Market. With that in mind, we wanted to take our children to one, so we picked the Coventry Christmas Market which felt like it had more room! This market had just opened the day before, so we were excited to see what it is like as none of us had been.

Watching Cinderella at The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] It’s Christmas time, which in England means there are tons of pantos. Last year, I went to my first ever panto and had a wonderful time. Cinderella had a lot of the same actors from the previous panto I saw at The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, so I was well excited to see it. Cinderella is a classic story, but like most plays, this one felt unique and with a twist.
