Hi all,

I am looking for inspiration for places to visit tomorrow morning with a 5 year old I care for. We have our regular haunts... but as it is a Bank Holiday weekend, I wondered if there were any special events on in the area. Anyone spotted any events advertised in your local paper? Anyone have any suggestions on where to go?

Polesdon Lacey is good, it has a great hill for rolling down.

obham Bus Museum is having a 1950s day.

Seeing this written down, it looks ever-so-slightly lame... but that's where DP and the children are getting packed off to.

Sorry - Cobham.

Look Out Discovery Centre in Bracknell is GREAT. It's a science centre - v good fun, and perfect for a 5 year old. It's surrounded by woodland, so you can go for a walk too.

look out

We have been to a Cobham bus event in the past, at the MOD Chertsey site. Riding on the buses was liked, but stactic display of buses was not.

Lookout Discovery is a regular haunt, so done that to death a bit... though always somewhere to go when all else fails.

Some of our regular haunts are:
Coral Reef, Lookout Discovery, Legoland, Alice Holt Forest, Fort Nelson, Marwell Zoo, Watercress Line, Local Railway Exhibitions, local softplay (which I don't like much, as it is boring for me!) such as Jakes, Little Angels, Wizy World etc.

Hadn't thought about National Trust places... good thinking, won't risk going inside though - but certainly Polesdon Lacey has some nice walks in the grounds and surrounding area. Thinking of that, a walk in the country does well - but alas in our local area footpaths are closed at present, due to F&M disease control.

More suggestions most welcome.
