    Lovely place. Lots of monkeys to see and things to do. The banana cafe is reasonably priced and the food is nice. The forest walk is idyllic.

    We live nearby and are annual pass holders, couldn't miss seeing beavers in their natural habitat. We arrived at 6pm and after a brief intro Harvey drove us to the far side of the leak where we enjoyed our cheese & wine - its so peaceful when all the crowds have departed. We didn't see any beavers from the picnic site so Harvey took us to the other side of the lake. 1 of our group saw ripples on the lake, it turned out to be a beaver! It swam right up to where we stood, feeding from the undergrowth -mission accomplished ! Harvey and Donna were amazing, very knowledgable and enthusiastic about all the wildlife on the estate. Can't recommend the tour enough!

    This is a wonderful place to visit. It is basically a time capsule of a 19th/early 20th century pottery with each part carefully explained. Additionally there is a great display of toilets through the ages and another of ceramic tiles. There is also a shop with a very good range of gifts and souvenirs and the staff were most helpful. Unfortunately anyone wishing to see the rooms where The Great British Throw Down takes place will be disappointed as they are not open to the public. Free parking is available beside the museum.

    Such a find!!! Free to visit (donations accepted), over 3 floors, there is a lift, and lots to see. The Staffordshire Horde, excellently displayed, ceramic items, along with displays of nature. Great cafe on the lower floor, with access to the Spitfire display. There are plenty of facilities too. We spent the whole afternoon just walking around the exhibits. Informative, interesting, and we would recommend it!!! Nice gift shop on site too.

    Had heard decent reviews so with an Easter holiday discount voucher got a family midweek slot. Booked for 10am, but had a long 20min wait outside in the rain with a bottleneck for check-in and bag check.

    Fortunately that was the lowest point as everything else was pretty great. Clean changing area, smart lockers then the pool area and slides were great fun. 

    Queues definitely kicked in from 11am onwards so it became 15-20mins for the good rides, mostly because of the queue go to the rubber rings.

    But great variety of slides, solo, joint, high, medium, fast and different. Wave machine also decent

    Absolutely loved this experience. Katie our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. The alpacas are very well kept and full of personality. Would definitely recommend, just make sure you take wellies as it is very muddy.

    Beautiful place to visit we stayed at the premier inn and decided to visit the shopping village which is located on the opposite car park. Plenty of things to do with the kids.

    We booked tickets for An Audience With Lucy Worsley On Agatha Christie.
    A very enjoyable performance.
    A beautiful theatre once your inside over three floors. There was I believe bars and most definitely toilets on each floor. Ladies head to the top no queues!

    The queues at the bars were busy with a poor selection of alcohol free drinks and expensive.

    Staff were lovely and helpful. We sat in seats 27 and 28 DD a good view of the stage.

    If you are planning on eating beforehand, book a table somewhere. We had to resort to a Spoons which was fine.

    What an experience. We went for a guided tour and i can honestly say it was a tour to remember. The owners are so lovely and very clued up on lots of interesting facts about movies, real life event, true crime etc… All the items were so interesting to see and hear about the background on some of the pieces. Wow! i would 1000% recommend this to any horror fan out there. I will most deffo be going again soon so much to see and take in. Thank you again for such an experience!

    Have visited this park many times. It's a pleasure to ride around on a bike, or to walk round. There are plenty of seats. Very different bushes and trees too.

    A lovely little museum which is constantly evolving. Informative information and will get better as the new work is completed. Needs everyone's support to keep going. The shop has an amazing range of pottery for sale at bargain prices.
    Hope the cafe is up and running soon - the Quarter at Potbank is next door but a little odd and not really geared up to coffee and a snack.
