Last year (2021), Amy was kindly gifted tickets to attend Cattow’s farm’s Halloween Farm and their premium attractions. Along with her, Gabe (her partner) and Rosie (their dog), Adam and myself went one rainy Saturday at the beginning of October. Growing up, we never really did Halloween, so this was a first for me.

Alpaca Trekking with Peaky Pacas
Whether going alone, in a couple, a family or in a group, this is a lovely day out. If you want to stay over, accommodation is available and it’s dog friendly. In fact, dogs will be in heaven here, with the space for lots of walks off lead. Young children can be involved with the …
An Honest Review of Twycross Zoo
I’ll openly admit, I’m in two minds about zoos as a whole as well as Twycross Zoo as an attraction. While I respect the wonderful conservation work that they do, it also breaks my heart that we, as a species, have done so much damage to this world that we cage wild animals just so …
A Good Time at Goodrich Castle
Driving along the A40 after crossing the Welsh/English border, there is no clue about the magnificent site not far off the road.

Virtual Escape Room – Trapped in the Web Review
Since I was a little kid, I’ve always had a thing for mysteries and trying to solve them. Whether that be in the form of tv shows like CSI, detective novels like Sherlock Holmes or board games like Cluedo. I even chose to study a degree in forensic science because of my love for problem …
Hidden City London Review, Outdoor Escape Game
It’s become something of a Travel Fairies tradition for us to take part in an escape room every year for Jessie’s birthday. Last year we headed to London just for the day and visited Secret Studio however the live actors were a bit too scary for Jess! So this year we decided to go for …
A Trip to the World’s Largest Primark in Birmingham
Not long ago, a brand new Primark opened in Birmingham. Now you might be wondering so what? Why should you care about this new Primark when there’s already one in every town in the UK and several other countries too? Well, there is actually something very special about this one as it’s the world’s largest …

This time for the special Reinpaca experience that takes place over the Christmas period.
