A Fun-Filled Family Trip

If you are stuck for ways to entertain the kids over the Christmas holidays, then you'll find a short break to Dudley, near Birmingham, with its many family-oriented attractions, is surely a must!


For a start, the area's famous NEC arena is playing host to Funworld from December 18 to January 9 - and with funfair rides, entertainment and games all on offer, there is certainly something on offer there for kids of all ages!


With more than 50 exciting rides and attractions, Funworld provides a great value family day out. You'll find waltzers, a ghost train and a helter skelter among the highlights for younger kids, while the older ones will love the adrenaline rush they get when they enjoy a white-knuckle ride on Matterhorn and the 300ft bungee slingshot.

Elsewhere in Birmingham, the popular Custard Factory is playing host to the amazing Bodies Revealed exhibition - a fabulous and truly original way for the whole family to learn more about the inner workings of the human body.

Featuring actual whole-body specimens and organs, the exhibition shows how our bodies work, how we survive and what can harm and heal us.


And because visitors can get up close to the exhibits, they get to take a far closer look at the inner workings of our bodies than would usually be possible. Despite the graphic nature of the show, everything is tastefully exhibited and is suitable for children of all ages. The exhibit started on October 30 and will run for the next three months.
