Bedgebury is holding a Christmas 'Lapland UK' Experience

[TheDuchessOfNorksBride]

... covering a part of the forest with fake snow, Christmas village, Raymond Briggs 'The Snowman' ride, Father Christmas visit, mulled wine to fortify parents, reindeer, husky dogs, trumpeters and all sorts. I'm soooo excited. Er, for my children, obviously...

It's quite expensive though (I just paid £167 for a family of 5). Here is the link. And here is the itinery.

And it's selling out quite quickly.

same for me but everybody knew that too

oh - you forgot Dorothy.

Well, apparently I work for them too and I laugh about it alot, but sadly I do not, I do not have the time but I probaly should as I like it so much.

Never mind Robbo, it will all go away soon, hope you get your tickets.

DOT

funny how all the newbies have yet to xpost (all about a minute or two apart)

Please carry on I haven't laughed out loud like this for ages...

Hmmm.

Dorothy bladder-wrack

You have endeared yourself to us with your blatant observations about lapland UK

Cheers

Sorry to abandon you there for a moment. Had to go for tea. Spam fritters dontcha know ?

Ooo Fireman Robbie. You don't impress me with your hose. Glad to see you making use of my sense of humour though.

I concur, Zippi

I went to Bedgebury last year with DS2. We went for the Go Ape experience but it was at the same time as the Lapland one. We walked past so many people moaning about how awful the Lapland event was. We saw a couple of rather pathetic looking "Laplanders" and a few artificial snowflakes. Despite the fact that going up in the trees in freezing weather froze my buttocks solid, I was very glad we'd chosen to do like the apes do rather than the reindeers.

actually i quite fancy that go ape thing

While Dot has complained about Fio calling her a rude word, it seems our Mrs L-F isn't so worried about calling a spade a spade elsewhere on the worldwide web.

Disclaimer: this post is from someone calling themselves Dorothy L-F, theoldestcat - and mumsnet - accepts no liability if it's just somebody pretending to be DLF

It was great, zippi. Just don't go in the depths of winter unless you enjoy trying to defrost your gluteus maximus for a minimum of 4 hours afterwards.

TOC - love that.

So Dorothy has no particular interest in Crapland UK???

I'm doing the GoApe at Grizedale next week.

pmsl go and have a shower before I go out and put the dd's to bed (although dd1 currently screaming at top of the stairs about how unfair we are) come back expecting lots more trolling comments and they have dissapeared, assuming they do finish at 6pm are all off looking up lapland uk now

eandh - enjoy mamma mia. When I went last week with some mummy friends, we went for a lot few drinks after and I didn't get home until 1.30am - on a weeknight!!!

THANKYOU

There is a lovely restaurant in same complex as cinema that does 2 for 1 if you hand in cinema ticket so depending how tired we are we may pop in there after (saying that my dd2 was up at 6.20 this morning and thats a lay in for her and best mates kids are early risers so we could be asleep before end of film )

Just waiting for her to pick me up
