Winter’s Tail at Chessington World of Adventure

Chessington World of Adventure is an amusement park that we do not often go to, despite it being quite nearby! It’s quite a fun and large amusement park, though we didn’t get a chance to go this year, so I was pretty excited to hear about their Winter’s Tail advent for the holiday season. The park itself is limited during this event, but what is there has been transformed into a winter wonderland, with seasonal shows and special events going on that are themed with this time of year. There is also a lot included in your ticket price, as long as you go to each one.

Lightopia London – a beautiful, illumination event

[Ad- gifted experience] Each and every year, Dann, Claire and I are all go to Lightopia. We’ve been going for years; before it was at the Crystal Palace! There are actually two Lightopia events on at the same time; one in Manchester and one in London. As we are closer to the latter, that’s the one we always go to. This year, they actually invited us along, which was a super exciting opportunity. It is worth noting that there is parking at Lightopia, but you do need to purchase a seperate ticket and they do run out fast!

A Day Out at Horrible Histories Terrible Tudors

We are on a mission to go to every Horrible Histories live show. We’ve been to the car drive-ins, we have been to the river Thames boat tour, so it felt like this summer was time to go to the stage show at Garrick theatre. Horrible Histories Terrible Tudors is an hour long stage show that follows the history of the Tudors, played completely by two actors, who are costume switching and being quite playful with the audience.

A Day out at Superbloom at Tower of London

Dann and I have actually known about the Superbloom event at the Tower of London for quite some time. You see, we went to an event in the Tower of London, which announced the event, along with an AR app that didn’t seem to go anywhere. They were looking for coverage on their AR technology in our day jobs, so we’ve been waiting around for when the Superbloom would be ready! If you didn’t know, the Superbloom is a garden all around the Tower of London, dedicated to the Queen, for the Jubilee. After seeing lots of pictures of how they predicted it would all look, we just had to go.

The Concrete Jungle Book at Pleasance Theatre

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I were very excited to attend another play, especially as The Concrete Jungle Book was in a new theatre we have not attended before; Pleasance Theatre. Pleasance is very interesting; above a large bar. Inside, they have their own bar, and have tables instead of seats. You can order snacks and drinks right to your table, or grab them from the bar before going in. There is a main area in front of the stage, as well as an elevated area, with various sizes when it comes to the tables themselves. The space felt great!
