To ask where we can go tomorow.

[Fizzybangfanny]

Were in the north west. Don't mind driving up to 1.5 hours.

Going is..

Myself, dp and dd (11m)
Db and SIL

Me and db like culture, things to see ect, dp and SIL couldn't give a toss.

Beach / lake . Not a stately home , dp would fly round with in two mins.

Any ideas?

Where about in north west?

Liverpool, walker gallery and stroll down to Albert Dock.

Lyme park

Formby

Heaton park

Southport

Fountains abbey?
Yorkshire sculpture park?
Howarth
Hebden bridge?

Manchester.

Oooh I'm going to google them.

Liverpool is good with Tate, ships and docks and there is a deepwater exhibition on Albert docks. See what is showing at the echo arena and maybe pick up a show afterwards.

tatton park - although is a stately home has lots of grounds for walking and right by knutsford which is lovely with naice restaurants.

Southport and formby for beach, lake district is within an hour too.

Why don't you go to that Chinese lantern thingy at the winter gardens in Blackpool? They had it on the one show last night and it looked fab - perfect for your 11mth old!

Loving fountains Abby and liv docks with exibs!

Fountains abbey is gorgeous. Might be heaving tomorrow though

Museum of Science and Industry
Ness Gardens on the Wirral
Tatton Park
Lyme Park
Manchester Museum
Liverpool One or the Trafford Centre
Jodrell Bank

Go to liverpool. If the weather's nice, go for a walk on Crosby beach and see the Anthony Gormley statues. If the weather's crap, stick to the city centre, and definitely take in Walker gallery and world museum.

Tatton Park have easter egg hunts and stuff on this weekend. Nice place to take a picnic too.

go for a walk on Crosby beach and see the Anthony Gormley statues

We went last week and I was very disapointed. Pretty poor beach and after the first look the statues aren't that exciting.

I would much rather go to Formby where at least the beach is nice

Dunham Massey is nice too.

Thanks you lot. Avert docks has some good stuff on tomorow and plenty to do. Dp has a very short attention span and there is plenty places to eat! Thanks x

Albert! one glass of wine to many!

I think the forecast is rain tomorrow so I'd go somewhere indoors tbh

lake district visitor centre
here

lovely walks, nice caff, great adventure playground. usually stuff on for the DC over easter.

There's a Brockholes centre near Preston too. They have lots of stuff on over Easter.

Dunham Massey was a hospital during WW1 and have recreated Stamford Hospital - inside if it rains! Supposed to be very good

always I live five mins from Dunham Massey. have you tried the ice cream ?

I went to Liverpool last week, I loved it. Fabulous city.

brockholes nature reserve in Preston.

a walk in lytham, get a boat on the lake, park, brew n a cake or fish n chips then further up is the pier n beach

museum of Lancashire in Preston

walk up/round rivington

botanical gardens in Southport

I love living in the north west. so much to do on our doorstep or just a short drive away

Warning, Lytham was freezing today and that was with the sun out. Managed 20 mins on beach before needing to go and get Big Coat from car.

What about Salford quays. Lowry, imperial war museum north, some other bits and bobs on the water. Lots of restaurants etc but don't know specifically what's open tomorrow.

Ooh another one saying Fountains Abbey. And Rievaulx. Beautiful, and Fountains has a great visitor centre and cafe.

Bolton abbey - one of the most picturesque places I have ever come across. has a little beach by the river , stepping stones, different kids activity bits along the walk.
was there yesterday and took about an hour from northwest

yy to bolton abbey - how did I forget this when we were there on Friday??

fountains abbey is amazing, but it's a Loooong drive from Manchester. Bolton Abbey much more doable, plus there's a brilliant 50s style ice cream parlour with a big playground 5 mins down the road.
