A Day Out at Dino Kingdom Nottinghamshire

[Ad- gifted experience] From the creators of Lightopia, an event that Dann and I look forward to every single year, Dino Kingdom is an interactive dinosaur experience with a dinosaur walk, that we were all very interested in going too. Lightopia is more aimed at adults, with a lot to see and not quite a lot to do, however, Dino Kingdom is a smaller scale event, with a of interactive rooms and points for children to enjoy. We decided to go up to Nottinghamshire for the Dino Kingdom event, which was in a massive park. The car park for Dino Kingdom is a bit far away, so you will find yourself walking down a trail full of jokes and dinosaur facts, which was a nice way to lead us where we were going.

A Day Out at Capel Manor Garden Halloween Festival

We have been out to several pumpkin farms at this point, but were still looking for Halloween related events to get the kids to for the October term. Capel Manor Garden is a local, huge, historical garden that we’ve always wanted to go too, and they have a Halloween Festival, so it felt like perfect timing. Capel Manor Garden is a huge location, with over 30 gardens, a zoo, various activity buildings and so much more on offer.

A Day Out at Cattows Halloween Farm

Though we have already taken the time to get our pumpkins and carve them up, we are still checking out Halloween activities, which include pumpkin patches. As we were traveling quite far for an event, we decided to stop off at Cattows Halloween Farm – a pumpkin patch and Halloween farm that we have never visited before. This place was big – like massive – and could have taken much more time then we actually had to spend there, which is very good to know for next year!

A Day Out at Out of the Darkness Concert

[Ad- gifted experience] It has been such a long time since anything has been properly open, especially performances like plays or concerts. Though there have been some amazing at home shows to view, I was beyond excited to hear that a concert, dedicated to the joy of plays opening back up, through a large group of super talented people. Dann and I both went along to one of their performances at The Bob Hope Theatre and had a really lovely experience.

A Day Out at Hurley’s Pumpkin Forest

We have been exploring pumpkin patches, as it’s just that time of year! This year, a new name popped up – close to Marsh Farm, we found Hurley’s Pumpkin Forest. This pumpkin picking patch has a few fun activities around the outside, along with a variety of pumpkins, to give families a complete day out. Pre-booking is essential though, but is on the cheap side at only £5 per car, which covers the cost of parking and a wheel barrel rental. Most other things in the Pumpkin Forest is free, though, so you will get a lot out of your £5!
