We’ve finally visited Herrings Green Farm and the all experience was lovely for a day out with the family surrounded by nature. It’s visible that all the animals are happy and well looked after too.
There are lots of different birds, geese to alpacas, donkeys, ponies, goats, sheep and chicken. Included in the ticket is a bag of feed – it was a lovely experience to feed the animals from our hands and this teaches to our little one such a lovely lessons: to take care of these animals and give love.
They have an outdoor play section with picnic tables a little slide and a vintage fire engine and tractor for kids to take photos and experience them.
At the entrance you can find a the farm shop where you can buy fresh veggies (they have an amazing variety) and there are a few wash basins where you can wash your hands if you want to pet the animals.
Overall we absolutely loved this farm and on their website there are lots of activities and gifts that you can choose from: being an adult zoo keeper for a day, spending an evening at the farm, family animal bubble, goat walking & more… Please tag me over on Instagram if you decide to go.
Hello there. It’s not already Halloween but this year, more than ever, we have that desire of celebrations in the air. If you’re looking for things to do over the School holidays this half term 2020, well you’re in the right place. I’ve put together a list of Halloween things to do in Bedfordshire… Ah before I forgot, have a Spooky Halloween!
This even will be available from Sat 24 October until Sunday 1 November 2020 (10am-5pm).
A unique occasion to follow the trail to solve creepy clues and gather round to listen to spooky stories. There’s a frighteningly fun fancy dress competition every day – just go in your scariest outfits to be in with a chance of winning.
I love this Garden Centre in Willington and from the 26 October until the 31 October you can join Pumpkin Carving sessions and get in the spooky mood. In the event social distancing rules will be followed and the event will be held outside so please if you go remember to wrap up warm.
Included in the price is a pumpkin, your own individual pumpkin scooping tool kit, a battery operated tea light, a frighteningly good activity sheet and a chocolate treat.. sounds fab!

Hello there 🙂 Last week we’ve decided to go to Linton Zoo. It was such a lovely day out with our 2 years old daughter and the fact that the zoo is relatively small facilitated us to see all the animals.
There is a large variety of animals that you can see in this zoo like lions, tigers, tapirs (there is even a small cutie one as you can see in the below picture), zebras, kangaroos and many others.
It’s completely different from other zoo we’ve visited like Africa alive (which is our favorite ever) but considering the fact that this zoo was only 1 hour drive from where we live, it was totally worthy. Our little one was so happy to see all the birds and also to take pictures with the different dinosaurs and gorilla’s statues 😊
It was also particularly interesting to see my little girl faces while some birds were eating or when she saw for the first time a tiger (ps she loves tiger as it’s one of her fave character in her nighttime story) as this is part of life and she never experienced something similar.
There are also different facilities like a picnic area (weather permitting), a coffee shop (I personally like to pack all the snacks for Sophie but we previously had a lovely coffee from here), baby changing and a gift shop.
