You are sitting in a beautiful theatre. A comedian is making you laugh so hard you forget you have a child. And that child is not sitting next to you asking for a snack every thirty seconds. They are in a separate room, supervised by professionals, building things out of LEGO DUPLO. Sounds like a dream? It is happening. And it is free.
On Sunday 14th June, the LEGO Group and Peanut (the app…
Mundo Pixar review: our family of young reporters stepped inside the magic (and only one got scared)
When I heard about the Mundo Pixar Experience at Wembley, I wanted to go myself. But then I thought: why send a grown up when I can send a proper panel of young reporters? So I handed the mission to Sherin, Eleanor, and a very brave five year old. They went, they explored, they took notes. And here is what they told me.

June in London. The sun finally remembers it exists. The school term is limping towards the finish line. And you are already staring at the calendar wondering how to fill the weekends without hearing “I’m bored” before 10am.I have been there.
So I have put together a list of genuinely fun things to do with your children this June. No overhyped tourist traps. No…
I have seen a lot of fringe theatre. Some of it is lovely. Some of it is trying very hard. And some of it makes you sit up and think: why is this woman not on my television screen right now? That is exactly how I felt after watching Baker Street Ladies at the Fireside Folktales Fringe Festival in Barnes on 24 May.
The play is a one woman show written and performed by Lexi Wolfe. She…

I’ve seen London from the Shard. I’ve dangled in a pod on the London Eye. I’ve peered out of skyscrapers that made my ears pop. But nothing beats the view from the top of Battersea Power Station’s chimney.
Earlier this May, I grabbed my bestie Donatella (because some friendships are fuelled by prosecco and shared awe) and headed to Lift 109, the attraction that takes you up inside one…
Last night I attended the world premiere of Gentleman Jack by Northern Ballet with my friend and amateur ballet dancer Olga, expecting an elegant evening of dance. What I got was an emotional rollercoaster, a history lesson, a celebration of defiant love – and a genuine brush with royalty.
On a Tuesday night in London, I’m sitting in the stunning Sadler’s Wells Theatre, programme in hand…
I’ve lived in Barnes long enough to know that when this village decides to do something cultural, it doesn’t mess about. We’ve got the Children’s Literature Festival, the Wetland Centre, more charity shops than you can shake a walking stick at – and now, a brand-new theatre festival that’s popping up around Barnes Pond like a very well-dressed…
After a four-year hiatus, the wonderfully uniqueLive at Chelseaconcert series is making a grand return. And let me tell you, mums, there is simply no other open-air music venue like it in London.
FromWednesday 10th to Sunday 14th June, the magnificent, Sir Christopher Wren-designed grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea will be transformed into the capital’s most beautiful…
I’ve lived in London long enough to know that you can walk past the same street a hundred times without ever turning down it. But this week, I finally did turn. And what I found stopped me in my tracks.
Just a stone’s throw from the chaos of Waterloo Station – with its rushing commuters, tourist herds, and that perpetual smell of hot dogs and diesel – I stumbled into a tiny knot of…
