We have been known to like an arcade, especially Dann who has actually been ranked in pinball, so after our friend Quang’s birthday party, when he invited a bunch of us to NQ64, we were down to go. Dann and I had not been here before, so we were interested in seeing what they had to offer when it came to arcade machines. The whole exterior looks like a night club, with lots of neon colors, and the inside matches that.
[Ad- gifted experience] We’ve been to a lot of pantomimes over the last few years! They seem like such a classic, Christmastime activity and here we love seasonal events.

With that said, myself, Amelia and even Kai were interested in a few of the tricks and experiments that were on display.

[Ad- gifted experience]Â We have been going to quite a few light walks, so it’s no surprise that we went along to another! Havering Christmas Land is a compact light trail, all for the charity Mind. If you aren’t familiar, Mind is a charity that’s all to do with Mental Health. They raise awareness about mental health stigma, support people living with mental health problems and fight for governmental change for mental health services, which is all fantastic.
