When families plan a day out there is always one problem: you have to compromise. Usually, what is best for you as parents is boring for your children and what is best for your children isn't that much fun for you. Take that fabulous spa or that delicious cream tea in the lovely hotel down the road: You just start enjoying yourself when your children get restless start tearing the place apart. If you go to a soft play area, it's your children who have a great time while you sit around sipping nasty coffe out of plastic cups waiting for the time to pass.
The London Art House has come up with the perfect solution for families that want to delight and pamper parents and children at the same time in the same setting, so that everyone goes home feeling that they've had a wonderful time: The Enchanted Sunday.
Whilst parents lounge around on sofas in beautiful rooms, reading magazines and newspapers, eating their most sumptuous breakfast or afternoon tea, children can enjoy exciting play areas right there in the centre of the tea rooms! Activities include cupcake decorating, puppet making, balloon modelling, lego and construction, clay, and really unusual arts and crafts. There is even a special activity area for babies making sure that your very little ones are entertained, too. If you haved enjoyed a massge or a manicure (additional but very reasonable costs apply) in the childfree chill-out zone, why not let your little ones run wild in the Enchanted Kingdom? The Enchanted Kingdom is a place full of lights and sounds, all manner of amazing things for parents and children to do together. Children can run around to their hearts content, do African drumming, perform puppet plays, enjoy sand and water play and join interactive games with professional play leaders/actors. And there’s face painting and dressing up of course!
For available dates, bookings and more information visit Enchanted House online. There are also Easter Specials available that still can be booked.

ReplyDeleteWe moved here just over a year ago to more problems and issues with our flats (yes - we're in our third), and our health than I can even talk about in a comment post! It's been extremely trying with two small children (3 and 1). We would LOVE a day to pamper ourselves and entertain the little ones. It would be heaven sent! Great giveaway! Count us in.

We would love this. We never get any time to ourselves, so a trip to enchanted house would be fantastic, and our three little ones (3,2, 7 months ) would love it.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and her two littlies would love this. They are 5 & 3 and a new baby due in August

ReplyDeleteI would love to go here! After a busy week at work I am always looking for things we can do together as a family, this looks like such a great option as we could all go together and I could relax for a little while and indulge myself guilt free knowing my daughter was doing something special too! Would be a real treat to win :)

ReplyDeleteHave subscribed to your blog, thank you! x
ReplyDeleteI had a very tough 2nd pregnancy and have neverhad a massage or similar - in 2 years I've never had so much as an hour away from my children except when I was in hospital for my second birth! folloing and tweeted too x
ReplyDeleteI'm @mommatwotweets btw
ReplyDeletewow, what a fantastic idea! I want to win the prize because spending time together with our children (4 and 1) is really important and so we spend all our weekend time together but the mind does wander and remember the times we were free to indulge ourselves. I wouldn't change them for the world or wish the time away to when I have my me time back but how fantastic to be able to escape from the every day stresses and strains of life but still include the two most important people we know! Shows me how I've changed, I looked at the website very excitedly about all the fun my daughter would have before it even dawned on me the fabulous time we would have!!
ReplyDeleteHave subscribed to your blog, its great!
