Seeing the Scarecrows at High Wych Scarecrow Festival

Over the last few years, we have driven through High Wych after their Scarecrow Festival and have enjoyed seeing all of the different creations! This year, as it is their 10th anniversary, we made a big effort to actually catch the day that these scarecrows go out and go along to the festivities. The High Wych Scarecrow Festival is a very local event with lots of the local businesses in the area participating and many of the houses having decorations out.

Beauty and The Beast Pantomime at Hertfordshire Studios

Now, it’s not often that our teenager asks to go to something. He’s in his grumpy, teen-age-era, as most 16 year old boys are. However, after going to a bunch of plays with Amelia and Robin, Kai announced he wanted to go to a panto. There wasn’t much notice at all, but we jumped at him wanted to attend something, so we went to see Beauty and The Beast Pantomime at Hertfordshire Studios.

Dinner at Cote

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I have actually previously been to Cote, as it’s a French chain restaurant, that always has seasonal specials that rotate. Last time we went to one in another nearby town, Dann had one of the specials, which he very much liked. I had the beef Bourgoin, which I was inspired to make at home for our family. This time, however, we were going to the one in Welwyn Garden City, though it’s very much the same vibe as the one we’ve gone to before.

Christmas Cat-Astrophe Escape Room at KnownEscape

In the colder months, when there isn’t much sunshine, we tend to book up an escape room or two! This time, we went to KnownEscape in Bishop’s Stotford for their Christmas Cat-Astrophe Escape Room, which is a Christmas version of their Crazy Cat Lady escape room that they run during the year. This Christmas theme is shown through the decorations in the room and through the slight change in puzzles, though we haven’t been to their original version of the game, we are pretty sure it would be very similar.

Snow White at South Mill Arts Centre

[Ad- gifted experience] As you may have guessed, it’s Panto season in England, and we have gone to a number of pantos this year! Last year, we saw a performance of Snow White at Fairfield Halls Theatre and previously we have been to the South Mill Arts Centre to see a One Many play, so we were really excited to get along for another Christmas classic. This panto actually leaned heavily on the musical side of things, which was a neat twist on the performance.
