#MAD Day Out with Legoland Windsor and Tots100
We were so lucky to win tickets to join all the MAD finalists at Legoland on June 16. We went there last year and we were all really excited as to go again. This time it was even more special as not only did we have VIP tickets, we were invited to watch the preview showing of the Legends of Chima 4D movie. This is a short family movie that incorporates 4D effects, such as water, wind, snow and fire. Yes, fire! We were shocked by the heat of fire but it made the experience all the more interesting.
Lichfield Bower 2013
Lichfield Bower is the oldest traditional festival held every spring bank holiday. It is about 800 years old. This year it was held on 27 May 2013. We have been living in Lichfield for five years and unfortunately have always missed it due to going away each time. This year, we made an effort not to miss this specular festival.
Sealife Centre – SpongeBob Squarepants 4-D Premiere Event
Last week, we entered the National Sealife Centre Facebook competition and we won family tickets to attend the SpongeBob Squarepants 4-D Premier Event. I was so excited! We were late and missed part of the VIP tour. Luckily, we caught them in time before they shut the main door. We walked around the designated route and saw a lot of different types of sea creatures. It was excellent. Both of my children will amazed by it all. Soon we reached the 4D cinema, and we donned the 3D glasses. The show is about 8 minutes long which I think it is a good length. If it was too long, I tend to get headaches from using the glasses or the children might not able to cope. It was quite a big cinema room with a lot of seating. The seats are big and comfortable. In no time, the show started.
West Midland Safari Park
Today, we went to visit the Wild Winter Safari, West Midland Safari Park thanks to moneysupermarket.com who gave us family tickets for us to do this review. It didn’t take us long to reach the place as there were lot of signs. We were greeted by friendly staff but unfortunately we weren’t allowed to upgrade our tickets to see Santa because they were fully booked until 4pm.
The Lichfield Guildhall’s Historic Prison Cells
The Lichfield Guildhall’s historic prison cells are open every Saturday until the end of September 2012. It is free entry. The refreshed displays were opened to the public by Lichfield City Council on April 11. The date marks the 400th anniversary of the death of Edward Wightman, one of the cell’s most well-known occupants. Wightman, an ale-house keeper from Burton-on-Trent, was the last man to be burned at the stake for Heresy in England in 1612. He would have made the journey from the Guildhall cells to meet his fate on the Market Square at the hands of the Sheriff.
