When it comes to holidays we try to make sure Erin When it comes to holidays we try to make sure Erin gets a varied experience and we all do things out of our comfort zones. Staying at Bumblebarn in a bell tent was definitely that for me! We had an amazing weekend though and it's a holiday I'll remember for a long time. The bell tent was spacious and the little added touches like fairy lights and bunting made it that bit more special. The bed was super comfortable and I slept better than I did at home. Here you'll find composting toilets, a family shower room and a communal camp fire complete with BBQs and gas rings if you need them. Although you don't have to, it's nice to sit around the fire with other campers (which we did 1 of the nights) and get to know each other.  Erin was very lucky to be sharing the site with some other children her age and quickly made friends, going off to the super safe play area with them most of the time.  >>> swipe for more photos and check out the full review on the blog today (link in bio) #VisitNorfolk #NorfolkBloggers #EAGrammers #NorfolkFamilies #NorfolkLife #Bumblebarn #BumblebarnBellTents #BellTent #Glamping #Sheringham #BeestonRegis #Sheringwood #TheGreatOutdoors #Alpacas #FamilyHoliday #FamilyGlaming #GlampingWithChildren #parentinglife #daysoutforkids #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkLiving #NorfolkMum #NorfolkDaysOut @beckieofbumblebarn

High Altitude offers wall to wall trampolines with spaces to sit for a rest too, a huge airbag, basketball AND dodgeball. We visited on a Saturday morning and although there was a birthday party going on, it wasn’t too busy and we had loads of space to bounce around. If you don’t fancy bouncing yourself there is a seating area for parents to watch and also a cafe which is great for starving kids after their session. >>> swipe for more photos and read the full review on the blog today! #schoolsout #schoolsoutforsummer #trampoline #trampolinepark #bounce #bouncefun #bouncefit #familyfun #summeroffun #HighAltitude #HighAltitudeNorwich #VisitNorfolk #NorfolkBloggers #EAGrammers #NorfolkFamilies #NorfolkLife #parentinglife #daysoutforkids @visitnorwich #VisitNorwich #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkLiving #NorfolkMum #NorfolkDaysOut
It’s holiday day!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This one seems to have been a long time coming as it was something we booked AGES ago for last summer and then it had to be rearranged.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today we’re going glamping for the very first time and I’ll be honest, I’m a little worried. Hotels and en suites are more my kind of thing but I want Erin to experience all different kinds of things and this is one of them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t like feeling like I’m not in control of a situation and with this, I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. There are also chickens and I am not a fan of anything with a beak. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep an eye on our stories to see how we get on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #VisitNorfolk #NorfolkBloggers #EAGrammers #NorfolkFamilies #NorfolkLife ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Bumblebarn #BumblebarnBellTents #BellTent #Glamping #Sheringham #TheGreatOutdoors #Alpacas #FamilyHoliday #FamilyGlaming #GlampingWithChildren #BeestonRegis #parentinglife #daysoutforkids #snaphappybritmums #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkLiving #NorfolkMum #NorfolkDaysOut
AD | Press tickets A few weeks ago we visited @se AD | Press tickets A few weeks ago we visited @sealifeyarmouth as a family and had a blast. Bookings are made online with chosen time slots. It was a lot less busy than pre-covid and this made it a lot nicer to walk around. We could really spend our time looking at everything without feeling rushed. The Rock Pool Explorer was a new area for us and I think it’s one we all enjoyed. Erin was able to get really hands on (or in) and learn about some cool things like ray eggs!

AD | Press tickets Although I have lived in Norfo AD | Press tickets Although I have lived in Norfolk for 8 years now I had never been to the Hippodrome (@hippodromegy) until the other weekend. I wish I hadn’t waited for so long. Currently, you can see the Summer Circus and Water Spectacular, which runs right until 19th September. Here you’ll see all sorts from contortionists, aerialists, motorbike acts and jugglers, all of which are amazing! After the interval the stage transforms into a pool and that’s something I’ve never seen before. Erin was up out of her seat for the whole show pretty much, dancing around and clapping as hard as she could. She was a bit in love with the contortionist and had to ask if she was a real person! The Hippodrome do 4 different shows a year and I know we’ll be back to see another one. Full review is on the blog today!
