This was a great experience for our boys during the October Break. Andrew was a fantastic instructor, so skilled and knowledgable with plenty patience and humour! Was an excellent introduction to clay pigeon shooting on 4 stands. Highly recommend.

Me and the family where up in Dumfries over the weekend and due to it absolutely bucketing down with rain we opted to go and see a film. The most local cinema in the area was the Lonsdale in Annan. Upon doing a little research online before travelling I could tell this place was a little dated and looked nothing like the big city cinemas but the reviews where good enough not to deter me and the family and we decided we wanted to go. We arrived at 1.15pm on Saturday afternoon for a showing of the lion king. The cinema is well sign posted in the town of Annan, and we found it very easily. Upon arrival, there was a large car park, probably enough room for about 30 cars (there was no parking charges). Upon entering, the cinema is very dated and very basic, no fancy slush / ice cream machines just the basics which is totally fine for me and the family. Ticket prices are around £6 for an adult and there are family tickets available which helps save a pound or 2 if you're part of a family. This cinema only has 2 screens and where both showing the same movie on Saturday. We where in Screen 2, it was a nice clean, good temperature and the seats where comfortable, the screen looked a little aged, I noticed a few lines running down the screen but soon found them non noticeable once the film started. Overall my experience was great, just goes to show you don't need to be spending a large amount on the big fancy cinemas when places like this are still doing such a good job, we are often up visiting family and will no doubt be visiting this cinema again in the near future.

Reviewed By M2549TMkevinh - Paisley, United Kingdom
This was an absolutely fantastic activity for our family (4 adults and 2 children). At first was a little uneasy at the thought of painting pottery, however, what an experience it turned out to be! Kids loved it with the activity of painting and the adults loved it even more! Prices may appear high for the original pottery, but believe me, when it is glazed, you receive more than your monies worth. I myself paid £17 for a large mug and therapeutically painted this over the duration of 2 hours. The time flew in and it allowed me to paint my story onto a mug which will now be a treasure for life. The kids are the same, these treasures will last for a lifetime and the memories of this activity and related holiday will always be attached. Much recommended and will do this again for sure if we holiday in the area again. If you are staying in the area (or if you love pottery or painting) get booked in and create a memory 5 stars is not enough!
