Hartwell Nurseries Winter Wonderland and Santa’s Grotto Review

Any people were very disappointed when a certain local garden centre stopped doing their Winter Wonderland walk-through and I’m often asked about it. Well, do not fear because Hartwell Nurseries near Aylesbury have stepped up to the plate and have now got their own Winter Wonderland walk-through and Santa’s Grotto. Despite basically living in garden […]

Kew Gardens Christmas Trail Review

I have wanted to visit, and review the Christmas light trail at Kew Gardens in London for a long time but never quite managed it. Finally this year we booked! I’ve seen so many good things about it though, and some awesome videos! I was very excited to go. There are a couple of important […]

Land of Lights Milton Keynes Review

Last year my feed had review after review of Land of Lights at Gulliver’s Land Milton Keynes and it looked amazing. We already had stuff planned but it was top of my list of places to visit this year instead. Land of Lights South is actually in the Gulliver’s dino and farm park part of […]

Father Christmas at Hogshaw Farm Review

We are big fans of Hogshaw Farm in Buckinghamshire, and have been visiting since it opened so when we were invited to review their Father Christmas experience we jumped at the chance. As with all of my reviews, they didn’t see the contents prior to publication and had no input into it. Just to give […]

Ashridge House Illuminated Christmas Light Trail Review

Of all the Christmas light trail reviews I’ve done this year Ashridge House Illuminated is the review that I was most nervous about. I hadn’t heard great things about the Halloween trail last year, and the Christmas one hadn’t gone down much better. I have no problem saying when a somewhere is rubbish, even if […]

Bunkers Hill Nursery Christmas Trail

A cute little Christmas trail, in aid of charity, that’s perfect for little legs.

Percy the Park Keeper’s Winter Wander

This year the National Trusts’ Christmas trail is Percy the Park Keeper’s Winter Wander. Most of the National Trust properties across the UK are doing it, although not all of them are. In Bucks, Beds, Oxon & Herts you’ll find trails at; Hughenden Manor, Cliveden, Stowe, Grey’s Court, Dunstable Downs, Basildon Park, Upton House and […]

Christmas Grotto at Penns Flowers

The Christmas Grotto at Penns Flowers is a small winter wonderland walk through on the Buckinghamshire / Oxfordshire border in aid of Rennie Grove Hospice Care. It’s been going for years now and they’ve raised loads of money for them which is amazing. It’s quite different from a lot of winter wonderland walk throughs that […]

Missenden Abbey Christmas Light Trail Review

The Christmas light trail at Missenden Abbey is still relatively new, and I hadn’t originally planned to do a review this year. We have already done a couple of light trails this year (although I genuinely don’t think you can do too many!!) and the website made me question if it was good value for […]

Santa’s Grotto at Windy Willows Tree Yard

Finding a decent Santa’s Grotto can be really hard, mainly because you don’t know if it’s any good until it’s too late! Also they can be incredibly expensive. I’ve seen some Santa’s Grottos in Bedfordshire cost £120 for a family of four. Which is quite frankly terrifying. I wanted something considerably cheaper! Yesterday we were […]
