Our son and his friends had a brilliant time celebrating at Partyman World Stevenage. Travis, our party host, was really enthusiastic and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed and that all the kids had lots of fun. I would highly recommend PMW for a fun and great value party. My only constructive comment would be to approach the parents about completing the party questionnaire once the guests have gone, rather than in front of guests. Overall though, excellent!

Last week we visited the Pantomime with my wife (i can hear you now shouting at me - oh no you didn't - well we did and that's that!!) It was absolutely fantastic - really professional set up. we will be back again next year - OH YES WE WILL!!
When we arrived i said to my wife why did you bring me here, I'm not going to enjoy it - well 'Oh yes i did!!'
Weldone to the whole production both front of house and behind the scenes you did a fantastic job.
There are several car parks located within a couple of minutes walking

Reviewed By Satisco - Spalding, United Kingdom
From Reading other reviews, it seems the real attraction is when there is a specific reason to go - chilli festival, snowdrops or whatever- otherwise not much to see!
Some areas - like kitchen garden - could use some TLC. Borderline value for a fiver - after thirty minutes I was asking myself "Is that it??".

Enjoy a fantastic FREE day out on a real working farm. We have free parking and our paths are free to walk 7 days a week. You can see our animals all year round, and explore our woodlands (you may even find a play area hidden inside them). We have a cafe, shop and pub on site so you can even taste the produce that comes from our land.

The staff were obviously over run with orders as the service was very slow. I stood in the queue for 6 minutes whilst other customers were ordering. All this time, someones plate of pancakes were cooling, as they were just sitting there. My order of farm vegetable soup I think had the same treatment, as it was delivered to me only luke warm. This was bad enough, but the soup was almost completely devoid of taste. It seemed strange to be drinking a thickish mixture tasting of nothing. The egg mayo Sandwich also tasted like blotting paper and at £8.50 it represented very poor value for money.
6. Stevenage Museum

Reviewed By John D - Welwyn, United Kingdom
Reading reviews before we visited, we thought a visit would take an hour or so. The reality is that this physically small museum is packed with fascinating exhibits and you could spend many hours here.
With the focus entirely on Stevenage, from the earliest settlement through to very recent times, there is not too much of any one thing. Displays are well presented and clearly labelled.
There is no brash "shop" but there is a variety of trinkets on sale.
From our viewpoint there are two downs. Firstly the layout is not obvious - it would be better if there was a clearer suggested path. Secondly, although the quality of displays is good there is an obvious struggle to keep the working displays in actual working order and to try to keep up with the most recent developments in the town. With the general financial pressures this second point is hard to deal with.
A great museum for children as well as adults.

Cromer Windmill - Hertfordshire's sole surviving windmill and a grade II* listed building dates from 1681, as determined by a dendrochronological survey conducted in 1998. It stands on an artificial mound just outside Cromer, near Ardeley, in which parish a windmill has stood for nearly 800 years. Cromer Windmill is open 2.30pm to 5.00pm on Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays from mid-May until mid-September and also the late Spring Bank Holiday Monday and the August Bank Holiday Monday; groups at other times by appointment.

Probably nice inside if ever open. Due to volunteers it is only supposed to be open 5hrs a month. But cannot even manage that or put a message on their phone, which rings endlessly (don't try)

A league 2 ground without atmosphere, more suited to non league with small attendance, best stand is for away fan. Situated next to a roundabout/ dual carriageway close to A1 motorway, good access and free parking, with London/Luton close by will struggle.
