We go out to a lot of inflatable and bouncing events. Robin specifically loves inflatables, and could spend her entire day bouncing on them. So, when we heard about Ellis Leisure‘s Inflatable Fun Days, we were all ready to spend a day in the sun, bouncing around. These fun days happen at various locations all over Essex. You can pay free per person to get a wristband, which allows you either a half day or full day of bouncing.

When the weather is nice, we go out and explore mini-golf places! We’ve been to several in the area; from dinosaurs to pirates, we’ve been to everything nearby. When the half term came up, the kids wanted to go to a new mini-golf place, despite the cold weather. As we didn’t want to get stuck in the rain, we looked for local places that were indoor, and came across BCK YRD GOLF, which wasn’t too far away! BCK YRD GOLF aims itself at teenagers / young adults, but does have a family pass for children, so we figured, why not!
Last year, due to lockdown restrictions, we actually got along to quite a few different Easter Trails in our local area. The kids had a really good time at them, so this year we took a look to see if any new Easter trails popped up, and found one at Hyde Hall that looked quite unique! Hyde Hall is a massive garden space, with plants from many different biomes. For Easter, they put a bunch of huge Eggs around their gardens, along with information on the flowers and riddles to guess what bird has the type of egg shown on the sign.
It was my birthday in February, so Dann and I decided to spend the night at Stoke by Nayland Resort, experiencing their spa, restaurant and spending the night there! This location is a little out in the countryside, with not much around it (we didn’t even have cell service!) but there was plenty of relaxing to be done in the building itself! The main reason we picked Stoke by Nayland Resort was due to their spa package, of which they have a really amazing looking spa that we just had to go and take advantage of.
[Updated on March 16th, to reflect the venue’s new name]Â Previously under the name Flip Out London, Pinball Republic London is a place where you can play a large number of pinball machines, all at the price of an entry fee. If you are a pinball fan, this club is a place where you can really play a variety of machines, and unlike arcades at the pier, it doesn’t cost you 25p or even a pound a go.
