I'm going to start this post by saying how happy I am that we were able to have a Scarefest this year. Seeing Halloween events across the country have to cancel their attractions, I wasn't sure that Alton Towers would be able to pull off a successful AND safe Scarefest at all. In the end...

Last week, we were at the first night of Fright Nights, Thorpe Park's annual Halloween event. I've only ever been to Fright Nights once before and this was as a child who was too young to actually experience any of the spooks that were there...I did see the Circus of Horrors and was mildly traumatised...

We headed to Thorpe Park last week to experience our very first Fright Nights! We stayed overnight in the Shark Cabins and spent two days in the park. Here's a video of our time there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnrrF9sTZz8
Last week was our anniversary week so we planned two trips to celebrate! The first being to Blackpool, visiting Madame Tussauds, Sealife, the illuminations and Pleasure Beach. After our holiday in April was cancelled, we had a Travel lodge voucher to use by the end of the year so we decided to do an overnight... Continue Reading →

I love Autumn. I love Halloween, pumpkins, sweaters, the changing leaves, everything. In the UK, we don't really do much to celebrate the autumn season and Halloween is no where near as much of a thing as it is in other parts of the world. I think this is a damn shame so for 2020...

Last weekend, we headed to Warwick Castle for our first visit in years! Warwick Castle has over 1000 years of history, a number of themed walk throughs and a few shows too so we were VERY excited to get to experience what the attraction had to offer. Here's how we found it. Arrival As with... Continue Reading →
Last weekend, we decided to take a trip to Drayton Manor for another post-lockdown day out. Now that the majority of rides have reopened where possible, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to head to the park, experience some of our favourites again and see how they are dealing with the new Coronavirus...
