<p><strong>What did you do with the kids at half term?</strong></p> <p>We went to Tatton Park in Knutsford, Cheshire and what a fabulous time we had!</p> <p>Tatton Park currently has a Roald Dahl Event on celebrating “100 years of Roald Dahl”. There is lots going on in all the different areas of the park and we couldn’t wait to go and check it out!</p> <p>Both girls, Tilly (Age 7) and Orla (Age 3) are huge fans of Matilda so they couldn’t wait to get to Tatton and visit the mansion, which was filled with Matilda stuff.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There was even a ‘chokey’ for them to try out and a classroom so they can see if they are smart little cookies like Matilda. They even got to dress up in Matilda’s school uniform.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On leaving the mansion we were greeted by the BFG himself!

The gardens were beautiful and huge, we could have spent hours in there, there was so much to see and do. This turned out to be the girl’s favourite part of the event. There was an outdoor obstacle course, themed with Danny memorabilia. Even though Tilly and Orla haven’t read the book, they still loved the pictures. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also within the gardens there were snippets from a few of the other books like “James and the Giant Peach”.
