I just wanted to do a little ditty about these new rulings coming in for xl bullies.
We don’t care if your dog is big or small, we welcome them all!
Reactive or shy, we suit those too.
I mean look at the faces on these two - big softies the pair of them.
If we have no horses in fields, you are welcome to use them for a run around. They are your best friends, and they deserve a nice relaxing holiday just as much as you do.
Thanks

Lilidorei at Alnwick Garden

Read more (+ alternative adventure playgrounds you can visit while you wait) here: https://www.northeastfamilyfun.co.uk/2023/01/lilidorei-playground-at-alnwick-garden.html

Here's what we know so far........

🎄Lilidorei will be the world's largest play structure (wow!)

🎄The structure is 26 metres tall and called 'Elfvindrin'

🎄The new play village cost a whopping £15.5 million to build

🎄There are six slides

🎄Areas will be connected by zip wires, slides and climbing walls

🎄There are 170 metres of bridges

🎄You can expect a cafe and grassed area for parents to relax as their kids play (although does anyone else think that trying to find them to let them know it's time to go is going to be a bit of an issue)

🎄Entry is going to be FREE on Fridays during term time (lets hope there is going to be after school opening for older children)

🎄The play village is based around Christmas and 1300 Christmas Trees have been planted around the site to create a permanent Christmas forest which will light up in the evening

🎄The playground is plastic free and crafted from natural materials

🎄There are nine clans (or areas) of magical creatures and each clan is preparing for Christmas around the castle

🎄The build has been documented by channel 4 and a programme will be broadcast later in the year

🎄There are three permanent Santa's grottos

🎄The nine clan houses will each have their stories told with an immersive sound experience

🎄The nine clans are Sprites, Elves, Fairies, Pixies, Goblins, Hobgoblins, Trolls, Dwarves, Squiffles

🎄There is a jail for naughty elves (and children!)

🎄Day visitor prices are yet to be released but an annual family pass is expected to cost around £75

🎄This has not been confirmed but as pet dogs are not permitted inside Alnwick Garden, I think it's likely that dogs will not be permitted in the playground grounds either
