Planning for the New Year By Andrea Krase Owner and Founder of Sophia’s Diary Everything Child and Family Related in North London www.sophias-diary.com
The build up to Christmas is fantastic. Sophia’s Diary is on hand to give you excitement and fun in January and stop the January Blues. Why should the fun ever stop when you have a family? Let us help you find something they love doing.
A Family Day Out Booking a family day out should be on the priority list for the New Year. Life is gets so busy, it is always nice to spend some quality time with little ones. Our local theatres are always rich with family friendly shows, so this is worth looking into. Our family favourite is going to see Platinum Performing Arts Urban Pantomime at the Millfield Theatre. This year’s show is Moana and her Incredible friends. (11th – 27th January). This show will cause “mayhem in the village”, so definitely check it out. We know some some prefer outdoor venues, so do visit local treasures such as Forty Hall Estate, Myddelton House Gardens, Royal Gunpowder Mills, St Stephens House and Capel Manor. Trent Park Country Club is also an incredible family venue were a round of crazy golf can be enjoyed, then a delicious meal there too. We have some astonishing local Indoor Venues where kids can let loose and have the best time. Trampoline Arena’s such as Jump In Enfield and Flip Out Brent Cross are fantastic and also have Toddler Time
during term time, at a reduced rate too. Children can have hours of endless fun at local soft plays such as N20 Kids Club, Rye Assic Adventure Park and Fun Junction, and events are often hosted there too. Coffee and Crayons are reputable for their delicious food, offer classes and also have a soft play area too. Rainbow Creative Learning Centre is a new softplay and café. An extensive variety of fun classes run at this venue too, so do have a look. • KBO2 in Palmers Green have classes, events, after school and holiday clubs at their all from one venue. To add to the excitement, Eventful Ideas organise adult throwback nights here too. • Eat Out at a Family Friendly Venue Sunday lunches can be the most wonderful experiences at the correct venue. Kids love The Plough in Crews Hill, as it has an outdoor area for kids to play. The Winchmore, Thymari Greek Restaurant and The Farmhouse Restaurants are welcoming and accommodating to young children too.
