[Ad- gifted experience] I am going to start this off by saying, as an American who lives in England, I have never actually gone to a panto. I didn’t really knew what one was, going into this, but here we are! Dann and I went along to Dick Whittington, a wonderful, fun, zany panto that is good fun for the whole family! I was truly impressed by both the actors within this performance and the British population, who all seemed to know exactly when to take part in this performance.
[Ad- gifted experience] The Polka Theatre is our favorite children’s theatre to attend! We’ve been there quite a few times over the years – and it’s really designed with little ones in mind. There is a dress up area, a bunch of toys, and a reading area while you are waiting for your show to start. There is also an outdoor play area enclosed, and a cafe. We’ve loved exploring this area over the years and feel it really creates such a great atmosphere and makes this theatre feel like a community hub!

Dann and I are really big fans of What We Do in the Shadows! It’s a funny TV series that doesn’t take itself too seriously, about vampires trying (and failing) to take over New York City. These vampires are funny, don’t really understand the modern world, and are just a joy to watch. I was super excited to hear that Four Quarters are hosting a What We Do in the Shadows themed Halloween Party at their Elephant and Castle location!
[Ad- gifted experience] Lee Valley have a bunch of different campsites all around our area! These campsites offer a variety of different ways to camp from pitching tents, to bringing your own caravan, to staying in cabins, cocoons or mini-homes on the property. We got the opportunity to stay in a cocoon at Lee Valley Campsite, Sewardstone. This little overnight getaway was one Dann and I booth took together, as a cocoon is a perfect place for two people to spend the night.
