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.

    • I had this same query the other week - Mediquip no longer cover Southwark and I believe the company when bankrupt? Anyway, after some digging, I found the news on the adult social care page of Southwark Council website.  The new supplier of medical equipment that is issued to Southwark residents via an OT from the council or the NHS is Provide Equipment Hub.  I emailed them about returning two items and they did promptly respond and came and picked up the items the following week.  Email them at [email protected] Importantly, they will come and do urgent repairs of equipment like hospital beds.  I'm surprised that Southwark haven't made this change more widely known as it will impact many vulnerable residents.

    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).
