Role playing in Dinky Street

Wooohooo what a fancy place! Im not sure how to describe this world of little adults pusching around with their trolleys full of shopping "Excuse me, excuse me" as they rushing to check out or this riding everywhere vehicles queuing up to petrol pump 🤣

Dibky Street is alternative to soft play place with lots of small rooms transformed into different workplaces. Its absolutely everything you would want to see. You can do some hairstyling and make up, see doctor or even vet all under safe eye of police and firefighters. You can put some bad guys into jail or even biuld something on the construction site. 

All is very friendly, cool atmosphere. Puschair and wheelchair friendly access and toilets. Small carpark on site. Place is located near Cheltenham in Bishop's Cleeve, not motlre then half hour from Gloucester- no doubt, worth travel. Little cafe on site with delicious looking cakes, mini lunchpacks, really nice coffee- oat and soya milk available and all in normal affordable prices.  As well as entrance. Is around 7£ per child with adult free. I took my teenager with me as a second adult free. Saying that, she had a go on everything as well 🤣🤫 Sessions 2h. Booking is essential but online booking very easy on their website. 

We will be coming back soon. 

St James City Farm Gloucester

This little farm is in the heart of Gloucester. Hidden well between those little confusing same looking roads but once you will find it, you will love it. Its very farmy style place, makes you feel like you are in homely village. They are free, but donations are welcome as well as purchases in their little cafe. They have friendly, cuddly chickens, goats, sheeps often with little ones. You can find some guinea pigs and rabbits, ponies and horses as well as pigs. Im sure they doing horse riding lessons on budget but I dont really know details of this, especially now in time of covid-apocalipsa. Anyway everything is free, puschairs and wellies friendly, easy to find some free parking space in area and walking distance from bus stops. People who working there are super nice and friendly animal lovers. I actually think all of my children love this place. If you haven't been there just take little cash and pop in, donate few coins to box to support this beautiful tiny farm. 

St James City Farm Gloucester

Saul Park and Playgrounds

So here it comes, one of my favourite places for everyone. Saul is little, beautiful village just few miles away from Hardwicke, Gloucester. You actually can enjoy even your way to there- driving road surrounded with fields you can test your kids knowledge on farm animals. You can as well enjoy really cool view on River' Severn. Saul is quite famous with Marina Saul Junction but I will leave it for next entry. Let's focus on our fun fun. My first attempt to find this playground did not work well and I had to face all this husband-bleah blah that I am taking us somewhere that I dont even know where. I did not give up and on second attempt I FOUND IT. When u drive through Saul village (from Gloucester side) turn right just after beautiful old red phone box. Little road will take you to FREE small carpark. In Saul park you have absolutely everything. And to be honest.. I didnt see it overcrowded ever, not even on weekends. Its a very large field, approved even for wild kids. You have swings, climbing frames, few picnic benches, mega sand pit, mud kitchen, zip slide.. on the other side of large, green, grassy field (woo, not even so muddy after wet november) you can find basketball field, bits and bobs for older kids like mini skate ramps and large slide. All surrounded with super green fields and fresh smell. You cant really ask for more, can you? Actually there is no toilet on site, if I have to find something to moan about. I would say its pushchair friendly but not really necessary to have one as car park it is just on site.

Newent Lake

Place for little loveley walk for everyone. On arrival plenty of car park spaces in area- free. Not extremley busy even on sunday. Little lake with plenty of birds wildlife surrounded by pathway. It will take you around 20-30 minutes to go around, unless you are walking with toddler picking up every single leaf on his way then it may actually be a day out. Few wooden platforms for better birds feeding. Pathway is puschair friendly even through muddy bits. Cute little birds-houses on the water. Tiny playground on site and outdoor gym (not in use due lockdown), plenty of benches on the way. Enjoyable brake of the day in nature.
