The_DADDY   3,461 #2 Posted August 4, 2022 Whilst my kids aren't exactly kids, more young adults I do still have to find something for them to do when my daughter is off college. So far we've been to Clifton park, been to canklow woods a few times, spent time on the garden. And all for free .... Bargain 👌 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yeah its great and I agree, Sheffield has nothing quite like it. And it's almost on my doorstep and Canklow woods is literally at the bottom of my garden. It's absolutely huge too. That's Canklow woods by the way, not my garden. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hackey lad   3,953 #8 Posted August 8, 2022 Daughters just told me they were supposed to be going to Gullivers Kingdom near Rother Valley, until they found out their two and a half year old son would be charged the same as an adult. Scandalous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Perfect, the kids can play (supervised) as the adults get sozzled. The kids love Brid. Never heard of Jerome's bar though. Sounds like my kind of place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
