Something Lovely Pottery Painting at Greendale – A Calm, Creative Activity for Kids

If you're looking for a relaxing, screen-free activity to enjoy with your children this summer, I can’t recommend Something Lovely Pottery enough.

We recently visited one of their pop-up workshops at Greendale Farmshop , and it was such a calm and creative way to spend time together. My 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter loved it — they got to choose cute animals to paint, and the whole...

Mammoth Slip and Slide at Greendale Farm Shop – A Splashing Good Day Out!

We spent a sunny afternoon at the Mammoth Slip and Slide at Greendale Farm Shop in Exeter – and it was just brilliant!

Tucked just behind the farm shop, the slide is well organised and super family-friendly. There’s parking right next to the site (lifesaver with wet kids!), plus picnic benches and loads of space to lay out blankets and enjoy the atmosphere.

After a quick safety...

We Tried Bounce South West at Greendale Farm Shop – And It Was Brilliant!

We’ve officially kicked off the summer holidays with a trip to Greendale Farm Shop , and the Bounce South West inflatables were so much fun! I’d seen it all over Instagram and was curious to see if it lived up to the hype — spoiler: it really did.

We booked a 90-minute session (you can pre-book online for £12.95 per child), and I honestly thought it might feel like too long… but my two didn’t...

High-Tech Crazy Golf with Kids: Our Honest Puttshack London Review

If you love crazy golf as much as we do, then Puttshack is a must-visit! We discovered it during a family day out to Westfield London, and it was such a fun surprise.

This isn’t your usual mini golf – it’s packed with clever tech! Each golf ball is chipped and linked to your player profile, so the scores are tracked automatically (no more scorecard arguments!). Every course is 9...

Babbacombe Model Village – A Miniature World of Fun

We had such a brilliant time at Babbacombe Model Village – I’m so glad we finally got round to going. From the moment we walked in, the children were off in all directions, full of excitement and not knowing where to look first!

There is just so much to see here. We walked around a few times and spotted new things each time, from tiny construction scenes and moving vehicles that our son loved...

A Family Day Out at Dartmeet, Dartmoor – Our Review

One of our favourite family-friendly Dartmoor activities is exploring Dartmeet, which some of you may also know as Badgers Holt. Dartmeet is known for it’s beautiful river, stepping stones and lovely picnic areas, and we love it all year round!

The kids absolutely love paddling in the shallow waters and exploring the rocks, and there is plenty of space for a picnic by the river. For...

Wonka

We’ve just been to see the new Wonka film in the cinema and we all absolutely LOVED it! In the car all the way home my children have been chatting away about their favourite parts with my husband and I, although honestly there were too many good parts to mention!

My children are 8 and 7 and I was initially a bit concerned the film might be too long as it’s just under 2 hours. Somehow...

Paignton Zoo's GloWild winter light experience

We were lucky enough to be invited to the Press Launch of Paignton Zoo’s GloWild winter light experience last night and we had such a lovely time!

The Zoo has been transformed into a ‘neon extravaganza of immersive installations, light tunnels and illuminated animals’, which was so pretty and it was lovely to see the Zoo in a whole different way.

One of the first exhibits...
