A Visit To The Marlowe Theatre

Canterbury in Kent is the perfect place for my family and I when it comes to days out. Being local is a huge bonus but this town boasts plenty of places to eat and drink, museums and historic venues to visit and lots of shops to wander through and in the heart of the town you can also find the Marlowe Theatre.

My girls and I were recently invited along to watch a new show, Don't Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus.

The Friendly bus driver leaves us with one simple instruction : "don't let the pigeon drive the bus!" What could possibly go wrong?

Coming from author Mo Willems who is an award winning writer and animator for Seasame Street,  straight away I was expecting good things.

Recommended for children aged 3 and upwards, this lively show promises lots of laughter and excitement and I can tell you first hand that it well and truly delivers.

A Visit To The Beaney Museum

I visit Canterbury in Kent on a regular basis but for some reason I had never noticed The Beaney museum before. For those like me who weren't aware of this place, it is an art museum and library that showcases some brilliant exhibitions and holds a brand new library as well as learning facilities and interactive events for all ages.

My girls and I were recently invited to the opening of the brand new Enid Blyton exhibition. Mystery, Magic and Midnight Feast, The Many Adventures of Enid Blyton is running from the 31st January to the 19th April 2015.

My eldest daughter was extremely excited as she is a huge fan of her work, especially the Malory Towers collection.

I personally remember not only reading her books but watching the TV series based on the stories on the television too.

This trip was exciting straight away because daddy was working so we got to take a journey on the train.
