Babbacombe Model Village has been on our list of places to visit for such a long time, and today we finally got around to going. I’m so glad we did, as we had such a lovely day out, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again soon – especially as we can return for free within 7 days using our ticket voucher.
After all the amazing sunshine we’ve had recently, we were a bit gutted when the weather turned just in time for May half term. But we’re pretty used to this weather now, so we haven’t let it stop our plans with friends.
Today we headed to Crealy Theme Park & Resort in Devon, and I’ll be honest – I wasn’t sure how this was going to go as the forecast said it was going to rain all day long...
My idea of the perfect Sunday is some kind of family adventure followed by some great food. So today, we headed off to Dartmoor to do just that!
One of our favourite places to explore on Dartmoor as a family is Dartmeet , also known as Badgers Holt. A few reasons this place tops the list for us are:
It’s set on the river and full of rocks to climb – which my children (
This Bank Holiday weekend, we decided to do something a bit different and take the family to watch the Exeter Chiefs play at Sandy Park Stadium. Now, I’ll admit—it was a bit of a risky choice. My 8-year-old daughter, who is gymnastics mad, isn’t a rugby fan and rarely sits still for more than five minutes. My 10-year-old son is completely sports-mad, but rugby isn’t really his thing either....
We had a rare teacher training day this week, so, along with some friends, we decided to pack up a picnic, our bikes, and a change of clothes and head out to the River Dart Country Park for the day.
Location
Nestled within the stunning Dartmoor National Park, the River Dart Country Park is conveniently located just half an hour from Exeter, easily accessible off the A38. For those of...
As a family, we’re a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got three teenagers , a 12-year-old, and a cockapoo named Alfie, who’s more demanding than the rest of them combined.
The youngest is a budding female Bear Grylls, the 13-year-old is football crazy, the 16-year-old loves music and combat sports, while the eldest (18) is enjoying freedom behind the wheel of her first car.
TALKWORKS , Devon’s NHS talking therapies service, is now offering employment support to help adults across the whole of Devon (outside Plymouth) find, remain in or get back to work. Employment support will be available free of charge for adults (age 18+) who are receiving therapy from TALKWORKS.

There’s a new spooky adventure awaiting visitors at The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth this October.
The Trick or Trot Halloween Trail is the perfect excuse for getting the family out in the autumnal air to explore the sanctuary and search for pumpkins that hide a trick or treat for the resident donkeys.
By guessing what is a trick or treat for the donkeys, this...

Located in the heart of Shaldon, this family-friendly café will provide a fun and safe environment for local children and their families to celebrate Halloween.
