Sunderland Christmas Trail

 Hi Everyone,

We recently enjoyed Sunderland's Christmas trail, after taking part in the monster trail over Halloween we were excited to give this one a go to.

We downloaded the 'Sunderland Experience' app which gave us a map that lead us to several very pretty Christmas art installations along with some augmented reality characters.

The trail is here until the 3rd of January so you have plenty of time to take part. Although you can enjoy it at any time of the day we would definitely recommend going in the evening, as the installation are very pretty all lit up and Sunderland Christmas lights really do enhance the experience.

Our kids really enjoyed this trail and were excited to collect all the characters on the map. Its definitely another fun way to still get out and about.

Fenwick Window

 Hi Everyone,

We wanted to share some photos of this year's amazing Fenwicks window with you. This year's theme is the Wind in the Willows and it is wonderful!

You can visit the window everyday until 8pm. It's a little bit different this year. Santa's Elves are there to greet you at the start and end of window, there is sanitiser available and only one family bubble per window is allowed. This actually made the experience alot better in our opinion as there were no crowds at each window and we didn't feel rushed to move along at all.

The virtual unveil can be seen on the below link too if you don't/can't visit in person this year
