Sunny days are coming … and so it might be time

Sunny days are coming … and so it might be time to work on your playground bucket list. Take it from someone whose kids have almost outgrown them 😭

I’ve chosen those with extraordinary play structures or locations (and often a bit of both) across Yorkshire and North East England.

I know I have probably done South and East Yorkshire and much of the North East a bit of a disservice. Sorry!

Do let me know if you think I’ve missed a brilliant playground off the list.

Oh and happy Mother’s Day to all the British mums - I hope if you are playground bound today, you at least get a hot drink and a slice of cake x

My mini guide to Wakefield is in @theipaper today

My mini guide to Wakefield is in @theipaper today (and I believe in print tomorrow).

I love this little cathedral city, known for mining, rhubarb and sculpture. And it was good to get to shout a little louder about some of the brilliant things going on there, including:

@yspsculpture
@hepworthwakefield
@thearthouseuk
@wxwakefield
@tileyard_north
@thedistillerybarwakefield
@kraftwakefield
@ntnostell
@rbt_video
@iriswakefield
@ncmme_

Thinking of making the trip? Consider timing for the @wilshermills exhibition this summer, including a new 20-foot inflatable sculpture 😍.

I’ve popped the link to the article in my bio - like it’s 2017 ✌🏼

We were meant to go to the seaside on Sunday. So I’m not entirely sure how we ended up in Wakefield.

It worked out well out, though, as we got to snoop around the newly opened @wxwakefield - a big cultural venue in the centre of town.

There were some interactive art installations, which I won’t tell you too much about as they have packed up in preparation for a huge free video gaming event this weekend 👾 (8&9 March)

There is also @grayswx (a female owned coffee shop which serves yummy cakes, toasties and hot chocolate), a dinky @theexchangetap and tex mex from @lachingada_texmex_uk 😋

Thursdays and Fridays evenings bring free live music 🎶

We then bumped into @wilshermills sculpture outside Wakefield’s gorgeous cathedral (it has the tallest spire in Yorkshire don’t you know) before driving 10 minutes over to Sandal Castle to run off some energy.

Wakefield is always fun - but it just got even better 🤸🏻

Every time we go to Farsley I ask my husband wheth

Every time we go to Farsley I ask my husband whether we should move to Farsley. It’s that kind of place.

And although the idea of packing and unpacking means it isn’t going to happen (reader: after 5 years in the U.K. we have only just hung a picture in our living room 🫣), I do like the idea of having @sunnybankmills on my doorstep. Partly because it means I might bump into Partrick and Esme when they are filming Sewing Bee 🐝.

But today we went there for the lovely Print Fair (on again tomorrow - Sunday 2nd). It was fun to look at all the brilliant pictures we might buy and then not get round to hanging up for another couple of years 🫠 and my son found a couple of cool zines.

Our big highlight, though, was the @peoplepoweredpress exhibition and workshop space in the attic. Thank you so much for showing us how to do some printing of our own ❤️

📍Raby Castle, County Durham 🏰🛝🌲🦌☕

📍Raby Castle, County Durham 🏰🛝🌲🦌☕️🌼

If you Google ‘how many castles are there in England?’, you get estimates ranging from 1,500 to over 4,000. Which suggests that as a nation we’re pretty lackadaisical at counting historic sites 🤷🏻‍♀️

But numbers aside, what I can tell you is that @rabycastleofficial is one of the very best to visit with kids.

Not only does it get full marks for looking like a proper storybook castle, it also has a brilliant play structure deep in an evergreen wood.

And a ticket to enter the Plotter Forest Adventure Playground also gets you in the the walled garden (with its fun maze) and parkland (with trails and deer). Keep an eye out for holiday events - we were there for the Little Astronomer’s Trail (which runs until 2 March).

Fun fact: Raby was also the home of a rather brilliant woman who was mother to my favourite English king 👑.

So, what are your English castle favourites?

Toddlers assemble! And of course bigger fans too 🙋🏻‍♀️. As you would expect, the new free Miffy exhibition at @leedscitymuseum is super cute.

There are very sweet play worlds, crafts and a trail around the museum too - plus plenty of Miffy goodies in the shop. And you have until 7 September to join in the fun.

For older fans, the artwork and biography of Dick Bruna is also lovely to see.

Happy 70th birthday, Miffy! 🎉

Be sure to also stop by the guinea pig village, aquarium, old sweet shop, ice cream parlour and cafe. But for me (and my kids) the vintage arcade is the big draw 🕹️

On a fine day, you’re also close to the brilliant playground at the St Ives Estate

📍Woodbank Garden Centre, Bingley, West Yorkshire

Great to have the @mediamuseum in Bradford back op

Great to have the @mediamuseum in Bradford back open - especially in the current climate 🥶

I was planning on waiting until the whole museum renovation was finished this summer … but then the @yorksgamesfest arrived in town for February half term and we couldn’t resist.

👾There’s lots of free game demos to play in the foyer over the holidays. Thanks so much to @tallstorygames for chatting to my son about getting into games development. His holiday was made.

🧬 Wonderlab is great hands-on fun as ever.

🖼️📸 and then I loved seeing the temporary (small) David Hockney exhibition featuring his film Four seasons.

🐧 Plus everyone’s favourite villain is hanging about the foyer

🥘 Lots of food options close at hand (including an on-site cafe). We went to @mylahore_ which serves yummy curry and also has a kids menu with chicken nuggets and chips 🙃

The museum is free but best to book tickets online.
