Welcome!
Hi everyone!
You may have stumbled across this site, or maybe someone has sent you the link… either way, I’m glad you’re here!
My name is Charlie and I am a full-time working mama with a passion for helping other parents and carers find fun, interesting and entertaining things for the family to do throughout Bristol and the South West. I know how difficult it can be to keep a child happy and entertained during the holidays, so a couple of years ago I looked for something that could give me various local options and ideas that might not have been an obvious choice or necessarily break the bank…but I struggled to find a ‘catch all’ list covering Bristol and the South West – with the exception of sites and blogs that provided a personalised ‘top ten’.
I wanted a variety of options, and activities/events that I hadn’t already done… and I suspected that others might want something similar too.
So…I started putting together seasonal family activity lists for the Parents & Carers Network at my place of work. Following the wider publication of my Summer list in 2022, I started to hear that my little Microsoft Word document had made its way across Bristol (and even got as far as Somerset and Wiltshire!) So, I decided to create a blog site to make it more accessible for everyone and to reach as many people in the South West as possible.
My intention with this blog is to help as many families, carers & parents to find fun, exciting, interesting and useful things to do – and I especially cater for those who live, work in and visit Bristol and the South West… where my family and I live and love.
I release a new list of places to see, visit and experience each season, which I typically publish a month or so before school holidays.
If you find my lists helpful, please do feel free to share this page with your family and friends. Please also subscribe to my page to get the latest activity lists when they are posted!
If you wish to get more frequent updates on newly announced activities and events ahead of the list being published, please see my Instagram stories which I try to update on a daily basis.
Wishing you lots of fun and happiness this season!
Charlie 😊
