Loving all the seasons at Bolton Abbey!


We did the St Valentine Trail at Strid Wood last month and fell head over heels in love…with the entire Bolton Abbey Estate!

Actually, our love affair with this gorgeous place actually started a long time ago, when we were little and we’re loving taking our own children to explore what we think is a gem on our doorsteps.
So much so that we are now in possession of a Season Ticket. It’s £60 and allows the holder free unlimited admission to Bolton Abbey for 12months (from the date of purchase), for all the family travelling in one vehicle during opening hours. We think this is fab value – and there are some great discounts and vouchers that come along with it too!

The ticket arrived in the post today and we can’t wait to enjoy everything that the estate has to offer – from the priory, to Barden Tower along the beautiful nature trails and riverside setting.
We’ll be first in line for the brilliant events that are planned this year: the Easter Egg Hunt, Pumpkin Trail, Father Christmas and 12 Days of Christmas. Not to mention picnics in the Summer, lazy days paddling and trying to spot the elusive deer.
We’re also going to check out Messy Mondays, Wild Wednesdays and Funday Fridays, as well as the Priory Fete.


As an unexpected bonus – not only do you get unlimited access to Bolton Abbey but (at the time of writing, Feb 2012) there are also discounts at the Village and Cavendish Shops and Pavilion eatery, plus a buy one drink get one free offer at MooBaaKids users’ favourite - Buffers.


As well as that there are vouchers to use at the Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel and Spa and the Devonshire Fell. Two for one afternoon tea anyone?! For our little train enthusiasts, the icing on the cake is that with the season ticket, one person travels FREE when accompanied by a full fare paying passenger at the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. (This offer does not include Bank Holidays and special events)

We plan to make lots of use of ours and will let you know what we think when we’ve checked them all out! We’ll see you there! x
