Watching The Turn of the Screw at The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann, Tom and I all went to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch for the opening night of The Turn of the Screw – a performance that is based on Henry James’ classic ghost story but has been adapted to the stage. The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is our favorite theatre. No matter what seat you end up getting, you will be able to see the stage. There is a lovely cafe and bar outside the main theatre and they have a little stage that you can take a photo on if you’d like. I am not sure when they started doing this, but the bar has a special cocktail for the feature play, which is very fun too!

Playing Arcade Games at Gravity Max Stratford

Dann is a big fan of arcades and I am a big fan of adventures! On one of the days of the summer holiday, everyone seemed a bit bored at home, so we all decided we wanted to go to an arcade. Gravity Max has recently opened up a venue in Westfield Stratford, which is quite nearby to us, so we decided to make a day out of it and see what the arcade was all about. Dann and I had recently gone to a Gravity Max for a press event for our day jobs, and ever since have been itching to take our children.

Watching Bedroom Farce at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I absolutely love the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch. It’s just got great vibes and always has a fantastic catalogue of performances. They do have a bar inside, a little cafe, and a stage where you can take your picture. This time, we were invited along to watch Bedroom Farce, which is a comedy about four sets of couples, all exploring their different relationships through a very long day and night.

Dalston Deli – Freshly Made Focaccia

[Ad- gifted experience] Focaccia bread trended during lockdown, with so many people learning how to make bread. It’s soft, it’s delicious, it’s often quite satisfying to eat. Dalston Deli has taken focaccia bread, baked daily, and created a bunch of packed sandwiches that are filled with fillings and sauces made in house. Their focus on freshness is reflected in the number of sandwiches they have each day; only 50! So pre-ordering the sandwich you’d like is heavily recommended.

The 13-Storey Treehouse at The New Wimbledon Theatre

[Ad- gifted experience] Amelia, Robin and I wanted to spend some quality time together (while the boys stayed home and gamed!) so we went to the New Wimbledon Theatre to see The 13-Storey Treehouse. We’ve not previously been to The New Wimbledon Theatre, which is located in Wimbledon, much like the Polka (one of our favorites). This theatre has a grand entrance, along with a bar outside the actual theatre. The theatre itself has a large central stage and then loads of floors, giving people the option of different views. We came to specifically see The 13-Storey Treehouse, and on this specific day, they were also handing out huge bags of free sweets (pick-n-mix style) to anyone who entered, advertising a nearby candy story, which was pretty fantastic.
