I am running a giveaway to celebrate hitting one million views on Yorkshire Wonders. I started this website a little over two years ago as a way to record our days out but with an eye to hopefully make more of it later on. It’s been a fun journey (and a really steep learning curve!), … Read more
Inflata Nation Beverley Review – We recently visited Inflata Nation at the Flemingate Shopping Centre in Beverley. It was only its second day of being open. If you have not yet heard about it, it’s an ‘inflatable theme park’ – think a trampoline park but with bouncy castles, inflatable slides and ballpools. Needless to say … Read more
Hollywood Bowl Leeds – Last week we visited the Hollywood Bowl in Kirkstall Leeds. The kids love ten pin bowling and were keen to try somewhere different to our normal bowling place. The Hollywood Bowl is much more modern than we are used to (I think ours could do with some money spending on it). … Read more
This year’s big summer show at the York Theatre Royal is The Secret Garden based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Now, it has always been a favourite of mine, along with her other novels A Little Princess and Little Lord Fauntleroy (am I the only one who remembers that?). I have watched every … Read more

It was a warm evening as we pitched our chairs around the stage. There were chairs provided too, but many people brought their own. Picnics were … Read more
It’s many years since I have been to the York Dungeon and it has changed massively in that time. I was, I am slightly embarrassed to admit a little apprehensive beforehand. Was it going to be too scary or worse (for me) gorey? As you might have predicted it was absolutely fine! There were some … Read more
Flamingoland Yorkshire – we visit Flamingo Land every year, usually in the Spring as it’s a favourite day out for Mr Wonders who likes to go on Father’s Day which we did this year. We sometimes visit and have reviewed Halloween too. Father’s Day this year was a bit cloudy but it didn’t rain which counts … Read more
Over half term we visited Geronimo – the largest UK family festival. There are so many festivals across the UK now. I’ve written a full review below, but the video speaks a thousand words here: We packed up our tent and all our camping gear and heading over the M62 to Arley Hall in Cheshire. … Read more
I’ve had an abiding love of rivers since I was a child. In the school holidays we would stay with my Grandma in a small village called Scruton near Northallerton. We could wander down a public footpath to the River Swale – and we did – every holiday. We searched for treasure in the form … Read more
