I feel like Laser Quest is a bit of a hit and miss activity, but one that is aimed at teenagers and so, as parents of teenagers, we tend to find ourselves going to some arenas. We actually booked Laser Quest at Flip Out Lakeside as it was so near to us and we had never actually been before. Kai was pretty pumped, with Amelia and Robin being generally excited.

Honestly thinking this was a mistake, we didn’t order them.

We have actually previously done a wonton course at the Harlow Chinese School, previously creating both fried and soup wontons.

The Harlow Chinese School is running their cooking club every other month this year and we are aiming to attend all of them!

There are a ton of light trails in Essex and we were looking to hit quite a few! After going to Enlightened Colchester last year, we wanted to bounce back to the Enlightened closest to us; Hylands Estate, which we had not visited since 2021. Enlightened Hylands Estate is one of the Enlightened Trails in and around Essex, of which there are quite a few! These trails, we find, are ideal for children as there are tons of interactive moments and lots of good places to take pictures.

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.
