“If you’re searching for a show filled with Irish good cheer, terrifying nuns and passionate musicians that feels like a love letter to all survivors of a Covent education then this is definitely the show for you.”

Titanosaur the world’s biggest dinosaur!

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a really fun exhibition on all things fantasy at the Natural History Museum. It focused on the discovery of a new titansaur found a few years ago in Patagonia. The exhibition had plenty of interactive information points and games/ activities to explain the life, nature and environment of the titanosaur as well as showcase the truly immense fossil skeleton of the Titanosaur. Was definitely a fun exhibition I’m glad to have caught before it closed!

Peter Pan Pantomime at the Palladium!

Overall summary:
There is no better pantomime than at the palladium at Christmas. The set is fantastic, vividly colourful and larger than life! The use of pyrotechnics was also brilliant in the Timbuktu Tumblers who had me on the edge of my seat with their incredible act! The panto here is more variety show than anything with much plot, which the show itself pokes fun of multiple times. The cast was fabulous and it was fun to see Jennifer Saunders in her panto debut as a wickedly hilarious Hook. Rob Madge was amazing as Tink and Julian Clary had the audience in stitches with his witty ad libbing. It’s always my tradition to start off my January with the panto here and it never fails to bring joy to my new year.

“Although a very literal exploration of relationships, it was the scenes where the characters were fully clothed that gave the greatest moments of vulnerability and intimacy in the show.”

This is my second time visiting the mysterious town of Jonaco and it gets even better each time! The actors are incredible at bringing their characters to life and always show 110%. The set is huge and filled with amazing details! They also changed it enough from my summer visit that I felt like I was exploring it for the first time again and finding out so many secrets on the trail. I managed to complete 3 trails this time and I definitely hope to return to achieve the rest before it changes again. If you want a fabulous immersive experience then I would suggest this at the top of the list!
