Our week (28th April – 4th May) was bursting with fun, creativity, and loads of theatre magic! From relaxing Lush baths to not one, not two, but four theatre shows, plus an unforgettable trip to Z-arts, we’ve packed this vlog with memories you won’t want to miss.
🎂 Self-Care & Drama
The week kicked off with a bit of well-earned “me-time” – cue one fizzy Lush bath bomb! Later, Lawrence and I headed to The Lowry for Death of a Salesman (gifted tickets). It was deep and powerful – a little slow-paced for me, but the acting? Absolutely stellar.
✨ A Magical Mary Poppins Wednesday
Wednesday was a total treat! I saw Mary Poppins The Musical at the Palace Theatre Manchester – and let me tell you, when Mary flew through the audience, I had goosebumps. Truly magical. Then it was time for lunch (hi KFC!) and a quick dash to HOME Manchester for the hilarious North by Northwest (gifted tickets). That show had me giggling all the way home!
🎈 Balloons, Beats & Family Adventures
Saturday was one for the kids – I took them (with my brother in tow) to Z-arts for The Giant Balloon Show while Lawrence was at work. The 80s hits, the dancing, the wild balloon tricks – it was total sensory joy and the kids haven’t stopped talking about it.
📚 The Baddies – A Julia Donaldson Delight
On Sunday, we wrapped up our week with a theatre trip to see The Baddies at The Lowry (gifted tickets) – and WOW. It might just be our favourite Julia Donaldson stage adaptation yet. Fun, spooky, and so imaginative – the kids adored it!
