Hi there! 🌸

As the Easter school holidays draw to a close, it's worth having next week already planned out — because there's still plenty going on across Surrey before the routine kicks back in! From a spine-chilling West End thriller at the Yvonne Arnaud to a brilliant LEGO festival, over 100 historic buses at Brooklands and the big theme parks back in full swing — there's something for every age from 13–19 April.

Whether you're squeezing in one last family adventure, heading out for a midweek show, or making the most of a big weekend — we've got you covered. A few of these do book up so worth grabbing your spots early!

Have a brilliant week! 🌷 Charli x
