This year is “march-ing” on. Yes, that’s an attempt at a bad joke. However terrible puns aside this month is packed with plenty of family-friendly events. As always, please let us know if we’ve missed any out or leave us a comment and we’ll add them in.

Onward – Kid Friendly Fun Day
Saturday 7th March
Time: 11:00am

This is never to be missed. Yes, we might be a tad biased, but it’s always fun.
– The sound will be turned down a little, to make it safe for little ears.
– The lights will be up, so you won’t need to reach for your phone’s flashlight to find a dropped toy.
– If your child wants to play, sing or dance, no problem! They won’t be bothering anyone.
Plus, there will be tons of other fun, including face painting, a bouncy castle, and more. Tickets are P110 and that includes a drink and a small popcorn.
