    I had a fabulous day yesterday at Nelson's Distillery & School. The talk & tour was fascinating and David was extremely knowledgeable. The lunch prepared by Andrea was delicious & plentiful & the Gin tastings absolutely lovely. They were both very helpful when it came to decide which botanicals to add to our own Gin & it was great to watch the process. It was a treat arranged by a friend for 4 of us to celebrate her birthday & a great time was had by all. Thank you Nelson's.

    First half - As fairly regular visitors to uttoxeter we’ve had tickets for every area from general admission to having hospitality boxes but for New Year’s Eve our favourite venue is the 1907 restaurant. Once again I couldn’t fault it ! The food was excellent and the staff considerately asking when you would like your hot food bought out knowing that you may be placing bets or watching the racing and didn’t want your food going cold. The restaurant was busy but never felt over crowded and the same could be said of the balcony. In fact the whole organisation of the day was second to none.

    Second Half - I’m not entirely sure you could class this as a complaint and how the racecourse could address it I have know idea. Racecourses through the pandemic have had a very tough time and need as many people through the turnstiles as possible but there seemed to be a definite change in the people attending this year. The stands seemed at times to resemble 40 or 50 stag & hen dos at a night club and at some stages it seemed to be more like a football match, I’m not entirely sure why groups of men would be singing football chants on the premier stand whilst the racing was taking place. Two ladies just along the balcony from us end up with their best dresses drench in beer when one of the groups of men must’ve had a winner and threw their drinks in the air. Unfortunately for the said group one of the ladies had a husband the size of a shire horse who ‘persuaded’ the gentlemen that they should be buying the ladies some champagne by way of an apology.

    So will I be going again ? Definitely ! A summers day at uttoxeter with a glass of pims is about as English a scene as you could picture and I will be going next New Year’s Eve but after that .........................

    I don't normally review but I felt this deserved one and 5 stars at that!

    We booked in for Archery as a taster 1-hour session. Jamie (our resident Walter White instructor) met us at our car. Parking was fine and close to the range.

    We were given clear safety instructions while not being overly too strict. Jamie has a fantastic sense of humour and made us feel really at ease, something you want when you try something new.

    There were plenty of challenges to be had which kept us entertained for the hour we were there.

    We'll definitely be booking again, either for the gun range, axe throwing or quad biking. Just be ready for lots of dad jokes :P.

    Thanks again Jamie we had a blast!

    My daughter and I went llama hiking today, we had such a lovely time!

    Our host was very knowledgeable and clearly cared for the well-being of the llamas and obviously our healthy and safety.

    He had such a lovely way with the llamas, it was lovely to see.

    I highly recommend!

    An interesting, small, informal but informative museum, run by friendly volunteers. Who knew that the name of the town had been spelled so many different ways? Plus coffee and cake in the cafe for £3.

    By their very nature, ie their location in the middle of roundabouts, these statues will rarely be subjected to close examination or artistic scrutiny.

    As a “drive by” critic therefore I will happily say that I like them both, particularly the bull, which was the first one we passed as we drove through and past the town.

    The design is modern, they are pleasing to the eye, and they make a pleasant change.

    And that’s it!

    This is a nice church but for some reason all the gravestones have been moved. Some are leaning against the side walls whilst many are being used as paving slabs. Good atmosphere inside.

    The Uttoxeter War Memorial is an impressive monument to the local service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It’s also where the fox hunters meet up to show off before they go out. I am not sure how often that display goes on. I got caught in the middle of it on New Years Day, while I was visiting. Try to see this memorial when that isn’t going on. There was loads of shouting and aggression. The memorial is beautiful though. It is very well kept and maintained, it’s a lovely display for the military heroes. It’s really nice in the morning on a cold day. I got there as the fog was lifting, it was quite a sight.

    Took advantage of a day off and booked this course for the first time, took a friend who is a total beginner.
    Very easy booking system once I registered as a visiting member, pick my time and rocked up, really friendly pro shop staff gave me some guidance once I told him it's our first visit.

    Then let loose on an absolute beautiful picturesque course, nice forgiving fairways and the greens were in perfect condition.
    Some very long par5's and loved the naughty par3's great bunker positions.

    All in all a beautiful course great staff and easy process, definitely coming back.

    Hills, hills, hills and more hills. The pictures do not show the extent of the hills, some may call it undulating, but no its hilly, very hilly.
    The course itself is superb if not a little confusing, the 4th tees off over the 3rd green, the 6th and 8th fairways cross, which when youre playing it for the first time is very confusing. Thankfully the members there appear to be very stranger friendly, my two colleagues and myself really did appreciate the fact that they took the time to show us where the next hole was and was so patient with us when we held them up looking for the next tee , again thank you. The clubhouse is neat and comfortable with a couple of beers/ciders on tap, glad to say they serve mugs of tea and not piddly little cups that hold a mouthful. Prices were decent and the sandwiches were tasty.
    Oh and did i mention the hills!!

    I took my two children ages 7 & 2 and the swimming pool was spacious. It wasn’t too busy which is unusual for us coming up from Essex/London.
    They had everything you could want, a lifeguard, a buggy lock & could even borrow floats etc. We are staying near by as going to Alton towers but I think my daughter would rather come here and swim everyday :-) we will be back
