A Day at Wicksteed Park

If you are looking to do something fun this summer with children in the East Midlands, then you must visit Wicksteed Park which is located in Kettering! Wicksteed Park is not only a fun amusement park, but they also offer caravan and camping facilities on 16 acres (6.5 ha) of land right in the heart of the park. This park is packed with a mixture of traditional attractions and modern-day play equipment!

Our Visit to Conkers

If you are looking for things to do in the Midlands this summer, then you must not miss out visiting Conkers! Conkers is a great family attraction at the heart of The National Forest, with indoor and outdoor play areas, interactive discovery zones, 4D cinema and an amphitheatre. Also not forgetting the Vertigo Adventures which was opened three years ago! Note that some activities will require booking at the Discovery Reception and extra fees may apply.

Bosworth Water Park

Bosworth Water Park is a leisure and water park set in the Warwickshire countryside. This was our first ever visit after Mr C bought cheap vouchers to play crazy golf and have afternoon tea. We didn’t know what to expect, so we just drove there without much preparation in terms of clothing.

Mike the Knight: Journey to Dragon Mountain

Last week, we were really fortunate to get invited to attend the launch event for the Mike the Knight: Journey to Dragon Mountain DVD at Warwick Castle. We set off and reached the castle within 45 minutes from our home.

We all settled in soon and watched the movie while eating jam tarts! Mr K and Ms C love Mike the Knight and have been watching the show since young. Mr K would always pretend to be Mike and Ms C would be Evie!

My Childhood Toys

Recently, I read five decades of childhood obsession written by Oxford Open Learning which deeply interested me.  I can totally relate to it!  I still remember my first bike (BMX), playing with marbles and so much more.

To join in this project, I made my list of 10 craze items from my playground days.  Born in the late 70s, these are what I played with.
