Show reviews and events

The Early May Bank Holiday weekend isn't far away so you might want to start looking for ideas of things to do!

I took an 11 year old Minecraft fan, a 7 year old and a 3 year old to see A Minecraft Movie - and this is how we found it. Spoiler alert, I wish it was funnier!

Last night I went to view a screening of an Imagine Dragons concert. I'm not a big Imagine Dragons fan, but my 11 year old loves them.

It was recently our wedding anniversary. 5 years! Did the kids care? No! It was half-term and they wanted entertaining! So, entertain them we did! We visited the Party Peeps Family Rave, at Pittville Pump Rooms, Cheltenham.

There are two breathtaking art installations happening at Tewkesbury Abbey during February, including one with free entry during the day.

If you love the book Poo in the Zoo, you need to head to Chester Zoo. Chester is also one of only a handful of places in the UK to have resident snow leopards.

Paint Pot Parties are back for February half term. We had such a lovely time when we went to one last August, and now have our pots at home, to remember it forever!

We went to see BTTF the Musical because it was due to finish at the beginning of 2025 so we booked in quickly before the end. It's now been extended until 2026, and if you're a fan, you should definitely go and see it.

I wondered if it was a mistake to have booked the tickets; how could a musical of Only Fools and Horses work? I had no idea what to expect as to the concept behind it, the story behind it, or how it would be put together.

Every year I take my 2 children, 9 and 10, to the Tobacco Factory in Bristol, to see a Christmas show. This year it's Hansel and Gretel. We all loved it, and as usual, left feeling festive and ready for Christmas.
