I'm stuck for ideas. Been in local lockdowns/tier 3 since September and I'm absolutely stumped now in what to do that's exciting for my 3 years old and my baby! We live in Lancashire, anyone have any ideas? All Father Christmas visits are booked up and ours got cancelled... we've been to Barton grange that many times im not sure I can keep the momentum going 🙈
He's not really crafty and doesn't like going for walks 🙈
I feel under pressure! Single mum and Disney dad seems to be taking him everywhere and I feel like I'm not doing anything :(

Lightopia?
Haigh hall I believe have Christmas lights, music etc.
Smithills estate fairy lights and trail.
Depends where you are and how far you can travel.

My first thought on reading the title was Barton Grange! But I see you've exhausted that.

Oswaldtwistle Mill - has an old fashioned sweet shop and the largest pear drop in the world. The aisles are wide in the shopping bit and there are ramps for a pram

Spring Wood, Whalley - sorry this is a walk, but a very little one with a car park and pretty woods often with a den or two that your 3 yo may like.

Lytham St Anne's- if you fancy a winter beach day. Really good for kite flying.

There's a reindeer trail at Ribby Hall.
Drive through father Christmas at Heskin hall.

Not sure if you have to book though.

It's only little but Birkacre Garden centre has nice displays and you can have a walk round Yarrow Valley Afterwards.

Not overly xmassy but Blackpool Illuminations are still on

I know you said not walking but Yarrow has a nice playground and it's a lake so opportunity to see lots of birds and wildlife's

Thanks so much everyone! I will have a look at all of the things that you've suggested. I live near Lancaster :)
