Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World Musical Review - MAST Mayflower Studios

 I absolutely adore a new musical. Anything that gives me a good ear-worm and has me humming for days, gets me buzzing about something new and has a brilliant story is a win in my books. But a new musical about kick ass feminist icons? Well I honestly don't think that I can really put into words how excited I was to hear that the brilliant children's book "Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World" was being adapted into a new musical.

When I found out that this brilliant new show was being made in collaboration with Kenny Wax Family Entertainment and MAST Mayflower Studios, I knew I had to go, I knew I had to be there, and I also knew that Max would love it as much (and if not more) as me. We have been so fortunate to have been invited to the press night of the show, and I honestly can't explain how much I loved it.

Victorious 2018 Saturday Review

With the sun shining down, we couldn't wait to head to Victorious Festival for day 2 of fun and games. Knowing that the weather was going to turn on Sunday we got to the festival as soon as gates opened with a plan of staying until the end. 

Armed with the timetable lanyard (that had been lovingly marked the night before with our must watch artists!) we couldn't run into the arena quick enough.

Victorious 2018 Friday Review

As always, Victorious Festival is our favourite way to end the summer holidays. Not only do we get to see Scott's parents for the weekend (well use their place as a crash pad!), but we also get to listen to some fantastic music in a great community atmosphere. There's something fantastic about Victorious that has us loving it year after year and always wanting to go back. 

This year was no different. With a stellar line up, we decided to head down for the Friday evening to check out some of the music on this condensed first day.

Camp Bestival 2018: Saturday Review

Day 2 at Camp Bestival was an exciting day. With a stellar line up, lots of sunshine forecast and friends with us, we couldn't wait to get stuck in. As I mentioned in my previous post, this year we brought along our friends that were festival newbies and both of them were excited to discover some new places. We had a list of things that we wanted to see and do so we couldn't wait to get into the arena!

Unfortunately this turned out to be our last day at Camp Bestival as the rest of the event was called off due to adverse weather. Luckily we had made the most of the previous two days and here's what we got up to on day 2.

Camp Bestival 2018: Friday Review

Camp Bestival is turning into a bit of a ritual for us as a family. It kick starts the summer holiday and also is a fantastic way to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately for everyone, the Sunday of the festival was cancelled this year due to adverse weather condition. But we still had a fantastic weekend on Friday and Saturday. 

This year, we brought along our friends Tamsin and Rubi to enjoy the fun with us. Having never experienced a festival before, they couldn't wait to see what it was all about, immerse themselves in the festival life we love so much and find out why Camp Bestival is so special.

Getting Ready For Summer Festivals

This summer we are off to a fair few festivals. With Camp Bestival to kick off and Victorious to end. Over the years I have worked out that overpacking for a festival is a massive no-no. With tonnes to carry, I seemed to have worked out a refined list of must have items that I can take to any festival. 

I thought I would share some of my favourites with you to give you some inspiration and help you fill your rucksack for a day at a festival!

Every year we seem to countdown the days until it's festival season. There's something magical about spending a weekend in a festival that feels like another world.

Year on year, festivals are realising how fantastic it is for families to get involved. And with more family festivals than ever, I wanted to compile a list of ones we think you will love this year.

Victorious Festival Sunday 2017

We were up bright and early on the Sunday to head back to Victorious Festival in Portsmouth. After hopping back on the park and ride and covering ourselves in sun cream, we were ready for day two and had a list of things that we wanted to do! After missing out on lots of things the day before due to leaving earlier than expected, we had a plan and were ready to get stuck in. 

The ride was easy and we are definitely going to use it next time. At £6 a day, the park and ride made getting to and from the festival a breeze and also allowed us to park securely in an off site car park.

We're Off To Camp Bestival!

 Yep it's true! We are off to Camp Bestival this summer thanks to the amazing Dorset Cereals. We are huge festival fans in this family and try and go to one every year. We haven't been to Camp Bestival since Max was a toddler, so we are super excited to add it back to our list of must visits this year and tick it off our summer bucket list.

Teddy Rocks Festival 2017

We are a festival family. We love nothing more than immersing ourselves into the arts in one way or another, music especially. So when we got an invite at the start of last week to Teddy Rocks, we couldn't say yes quick enough. 

Set in the heart of Dorset outside Blandford Forum, Teddy Rocks has grown from a gig at a pub to a three day festival with camping on a farm in a matter of years. What sets this festival apart from others is that it's all for charity to help fight children's cancer. With each year, the money raised getting more and more. It's amazing to see how much music lovers can come together for a worthy cause.
