With Summer well on its way we also welcome festival season. Each year seems to see more local festivals welcoming families

Last week, my 3 year old son and I had the absolute pleasure of watching the Cat in the Hat theatre show at the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells. The set design immediately takes the audience straight into the pages of Dr. Seuss’s classic book. Created in association with the National Centre for Circus Acts be prepared for more than your average children’s theatre with acrobatic chaos allowing the magic of Dr Seuss come to life. We loved watching Nana Amoo-Gottfried as the Cat in the Hat demonstrating some incredible multi-tasking – balancing on a ball holding numerous items presented to him by Sally and her brother as they try to entertain themselves.

Thanks to the island’s clear, warm waters and sheltered shores Bohol has become one of Asia’s top, luxury family destinations with the unique chance to get up close to the local wildlife including sea turtles and meeting Tarsiers – the smallest primates in the world! Malaysia is one of the best long haul family destinations across the world, with beaches, wildlife, great food and plenty of child-friendly attractions. Thanks to the country’s multi-cultural and diverse heritage families are able to experience exotic culture and customs offering a life changing learning experience rather than just a holiday. The southern capital of the country – Galle is well known for the local market and its ancient fort making it the perfect cultural escape for families looking to head away from the beach for the day.
