[Ad- gifted experience] We are back at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch for another wonderful performance. The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is a really wonderful venue – our current favorite. We got a few drinks at the bar, which has on the tap cocktails, and then settled into our seats for The Book of Will. The Book of Will is a love letter to Shakespeare, showcasing a group of the King’s Men and their wives, who are looking to preserve as many as William’s plays as they possibly can.

David Bowie has, arguably, been one of the most successful and talented musical artists in human history. Few creators can claim that, and fewer had successful albums released in six consecutive decades. A large part of the charm and appeal of Bowie’s work was how he twisted and changed over time, reinventing himself — as characters — with new releases. While a lot of people talk about Ziggy Stardust’s time, or the massive shift that came with Low, Aladdin Sane is easily one of the most important transformations, and The Southbank Centre has been celebrating that, and Brian Duffy’s lightning portrait that made up the front cover, with their Aladdin Sane: 50 Years celebration installation.

[Ad- gifted experience] Once again, we found ourselves at The Polka Theatre – a lovely, child focused theatre with a large play area. This play area has dress up, building block area, books to read, coloring and a café, making it a really nice place to bring those who are younger! We do love playing in the play area of this theatre, but as I have previously spoken highly of the wonderful play area, we are going to dive right into the play that we’ve seen this time; The Lost Spells.

[Ad- gifted experience] I was lucky to be invited to Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch to watch the play Sucker Punch for Life with Jupiter and Dann. It’s a lovely modern building with a well stocked bar to grab a cold drink pre-show or during the interval. The auditorium itself was laid out so that all seats had a perfect view of the stage which made a refreshing change as this is not always the case for shows I have seen in London’s West End.

As Easter is basically here, we wanted to hit a few of the limited time Easter Trails – but at places we have not been before. When looking for new gardens and parks to explore, we found the Lindt Easter Trail at Hampton Court Palace. This is an Easter trail we have never been too, at a palace we have never been to either! This trail was actually really massive as well, as the Hampton Court Palace is a huge place, and there was so much to explore.
