Dann really enjoys going to pinball clubs and playing all of their beautiful tables! So, when one opened up quite local to where we live, Dann was super excited to go along! Claire actually arranged her birthday party at the venue The Pinball Office, which is very much like a diamond in the rough – a hidden pinball office that doesn’t seem like it would be there from the outside. But, the inside of the venue is wonderful. Clean machines, lots of variety, and it’s not too loud there at all!
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to getting out and about, there are a few parks and woods that the children really, really love. Belhus Woods Country Park, which includes a musical-themed play park, is one of those places that the children always want to go too. Last year, around the month of December, they had a reindeer trail which everyone enjoyed, so we hopped along again in the muddy wintertime to see if a new trail was set up – and to our delight, they had put together a gnome trail for us all!

Audley End House and Gardens is a really lovely English Heritage grounds, that we tend to visit whenever they do any of their seasonal events. This year, they had a light festival called Enchanted Audrey End. I had heard all about Audrey End light shows, but you do need to pre-book well ahead of time! So, this year we were prepared and we were able to get the whole family along for the fun trail!
As previously mentioned, Kai really enjoys Horrible Histories. After he read his Horrible Histories Horrible Christmas book, we heard about the Horrible Histories Christmas Car Panto, which seemed like a really fun event. We have not been to a drive in before, and I have not been to a panto as those aren’t something we have in America, but I was super excited to figure out how both would work!

It is one of our yearly traditions to attend Lightopia! Previously, we have waited until January to go, but this year we figured we should grab tickets while we can, in case the event wasn’t on for as long as previous years. Lightopia, if you do not know, is an event ran by the same people who ran Dino Kingdom! They put on a huge showcase of light sculptures and music, that you can walk around, at various locations in the United Kingdom. We went along to Lightopia London, at Crystal Palace Park this year, as a double date with Claire and her partner.
