Hi everyone


I'm really keen to take my family away for Christmas this year (not too far I might add!) where they do an overnight stay package on Christmas night. My children are 4 and 6 so they would need to have activities for them. Can anyone recommend anywhere? Happy to travel pretty much anywhere in the UK.


I hope to receive some replies :o)


Thank you in advance

I am sure there was a thread on here recently asking the same question and there were lots of suggestions.


We have been to review The Grove. They are about 40 minutes from central London and have the most amazing childcare and facilities. They do a special package each Christmas - last year it was based around The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, and their walled garden area, which houses their childcare, was completely decked out for the occasion. The hotel is set in a famous golf course and the spa has won Best Spa in the world last year in The Telegraph, their restaurants, food and accommodation are all amazing. I have reviewed several such establishments, but I genuinely couldn't recommend The Grove highly enough.


My son says that he prefers The Grove to Disneyland Paris - when he was there he was 7 and my daughter was 5.

Thanks for this. I also forgot to mention that most places do packages for two and three nights but we are only interested in staying for one night. Think this is where the difficulty has arisen.


Thanks, will look into The Grove shortly.

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
