Exploring Larkins Farm for Christmas Trees!

Posted on November 12, 2021November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

Christmas is coming up fast and many people are already getting ready for their Christmas decorations. One of the main decorations, the center of the entire show, is always a Christmas tree. We tend to go for real Christmas trees – there is something about going to a Christmas tree farm, taking a look at the forest of trees waiting for homes, and selecting the one that fits perfectly in your living room, to decorate and display for the holidays. Larkins Farm is all about KeepingItReal with their selection of Christmas trees at two different locations in Essex.

A Day Out at the Hylands Estate Adventure Castle

Posted on November 9, 2021July 8, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

In the hunt for more places to go out and visit, we found that we actually live quite close to the Hylands Estate Adventure Castle, which is a completely free, quite massive park for kids to play and explore. We wanted to make it more of a day out, so we actually packed a lunch to eat there – though there is a little cafe which is perfect for getting lunches or hot drinks if you need it.

A Day Out at Belvoir Castle

Posted on November 3, 2021January 30, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann is a massive fan of historical sites and of castles, so when we went out to the Engine Yard, to explore their new buildings shops and area, we then hopped over to Belvoir Castle – just across the road – to have a look at the grounds and inside. This castle was up a hill – a little walk from the car park, so we made our way there after lunch, excited to take a look at the grounds and then inside castle. What we didn’t realize was just how large the grounds themselves are.

A Day Out at Dino Kingdom Nottinghamshire

Posted on October 28, 2021January 30, 2025 by Jupiter

[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.
