Nevendon Manor - Willy Wonka

Hold your breath, make a wish, count to three .... come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination!

After attending the Hatters Wonderland a few months back we were all excited about going to the Wonka event at Nevendon Manor and they did not let us down!

The sheer amount of creativity and detail that goes into these events amazes me every time.  During the hour long walk you are guided through the beautiful manor gardens through different scenes telling the story of Charlie Bucket and the other golden ticker winners.

Each set is a visual delight and the talented actors bring each character to life and captivate the audience bringing them into the magical world of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Fantastic day out for all the family and we all left on a sugar-high!

 

 

Be sure to check out the next events running at Nevendon Manor - Halloween Horror Trail and Oz, Search for Toto.

Five on a Friday

Another addition of Five on a Friday

ONE:  We have finally replaced our old white UPVC door with a elegant black composite door with light grey weatherboard and glass panel - I love how it has turned out!

TWO:  We have been off work this week so have been spending lots of time out and about with the kids.  Earlier this week we drove to Southend on Sea and had a fab day out at the sea front, visiting the Sealife Centre, fish and chips on the beach, we let the kids have a go on the 2 penny drop in the amusement arcade and paddling in the sea.

THREE: Danny and I celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary with a lovely dinner at our local Chinese restaurant China Kitchen.

FOUR: I have found these amazing pink lemonade Snapple drinks in the B&M store at 99p a bottle and they are amazing with a shot of vodka to sit and drink in the garden in the sunshine!

FIVE:   We have booked tickets for the Willy Wonka event at Nevendon Manor at the end of August - we had such a brilliant time at the Alice in Wonderland event they ran a few months back we cannot wait to go!
