Can you believe May half term is almost upon us already?! I’m sure we only just had the Easter holidays a moment ago! This has been a really short term but I’m quite happy to have the kids off again for more fun and adventures. Here’s our listing of what’s on in Oxfordshire and beyond over half term
We’ve got a busy weekend ahead celebrating lots of family birthdays! If you are looking to get out and about though find out what’s on in Oxfordshire and beyond here:
We’ve never really been the type of family to go on a package holiday and sit on a beach or by a hotel pool for 2 weeks. We prefer to go to places where we can explore and experience a bit of culture. I’ve started looking into doing some European city breaks as a family and thought I’d share with you these favourites from my fellow bloggers.
The new Hog & Hedge in Newbury opened its doors in October on Northbrook Street. It’s a lovely cafe offering freshly-made food and speciality coffee all made on-site on a daily basis. You can enjoy breakfast, lunch or a spot of tea and cake, whatever takes your fancy.
So our due date weekend is upon us, May 4th. It’s also internationally known as Star Wars Day. Yep, we couldn’t have planned that better if we tried! It also happens to be a bank holiday weekend, woohoo! So while we concentrate on getting this baby born here’s what else is happening this weekend across Oxfordshire and beyond.
Well the weather has certainly changed a little after the gorgeous bank holiday weekend! Don’t let that stop you from getting out and about though. There are loads of events taking place across Oxfordshire this weekend. Enjoy!
We love to go and visit new places which often involves an overnight stay. Now we no-longer fit the standard family of 4 though we struggle to find accommodation. This led to us using Air BnB for the first time last year, opening up all sorts of new options for us. On our most recent trip to Leicester we did find a hotel that accommodated us all though, so which do we prefer? Here I compare hotel vs Air BnB for family travel.
We’re just over 2 weeks away from our due date and it’s got me thinking back to those early newborn days with our older children. I remember with our first feeling totally overwhelmed by everything.
Do you ever worry that your kids spend too much time zoned out in front of a screen? Whether its a TV screen or tablet device? According to research the amount of exercise children do drops dramatically during the school holidays.
We are very excited to hear that Carters Steam Fair is heading to Reading 13th-22nd April, just in time for the Easter holidays! Carters isn’t your usual noisy neon fairground. Its made up of vintage rides dating from the 1890s to 1960s and is just stunning! The kids will love the rides and the grown-ups will love the Instagram-worthy nostalgia.
