Hello Readers!
Welcome to 2018 and the latest issue of Primary Times.
We hope you’ve had a wonderful start to the New Year.
The temptation at this time of year is to stay indoors, find
something entertaining on the TV and relax on the sofa under a
blanket until the weather starts to turn distinctly more summery.
Whilst this might sound like a good plan (and it does) there’s
always plenty to see and do once you venture from the sofa and
out of the front door.
In our What’s On Guide you’ll find plenty of ideas for fun days out
and if you fancy swapping your sofa for a comfy seat for a while,
then you could always head to the theatre. You’ll find the best
shows in your area in the Box Office section. Whether it’s walking
through the snowdrops, enjoying the animals at Green Dragon
Eco Farm, or celebrating the works of Roald Dahl, there are plenty
opportunities for some memorable days out!
Now the festive period is over, it is still possible that you want to
party. If you’ve got a child’s party coming up in the near future
DON’T PANIC! Our Party Guide is full of ideas to help you create
an amazing memory for all involved.
You can also visit our Pinterest page for party food inspiration

Don’t forget to enter our competitions, there are lots of great
prizes to be won including a family day pass for Geronimo
Festival and a family pass for 360 Play. You can find more great
competitions on our website too.
Our next issue will be full of the joys of Spring, but until then,
here’s to a wonderful 2018!
