JollyDays Supported Holidays - Blog

With a huge hop, skip and a jump, we all met up bubbling with excitement and set off for our Butlins adventure!    During our holiday we spent some fabulous and fanciful fun at the fair!  We all won some marvellous prizes, achieved by hooking ducks really rather well!   Some cracking coconut-shy shots were taken and we impressed our spectators who clapped and cheered!  Mini golf was a must and we spent time on the course perfecting our holes-in-ones. Well done all for spectacular efforts!     Some of us enjoyed a leisurely swim in the warm pool, whilst other braved the twirling flumes!  We enjoyed several delightful walks along the promenade - the beach was beautiful and offered us expansive views out across the bay.  We mustn't forget to mention the ice-cream or two that we devoured.....     We had a few go's on the penny machines and gathered up our tickets for prizes!  Air hockey was...

What a cracker of a week we had at Blackpool!  JollyDays was back once more, taking over the town and taking in the buzzing atmosphere!    We spent time in the amazing Blackpool Tower whirling around the dance floor in style, as well as experiencing a fantastic 4D viewing of a special effect film.  We even got the lift right to the top of the tower and some brave souls stepped out onto the glass bottomed floor and looked all the way down!  We watched a wonderful circus, full of daring acrobats and clever magicians!       We enjoyed some leisurely ambles along the promenade and far stretching pier, looking out over wonderful views of the sea.  We went into Madam Tussauds and loved being so close to the stars and having our pictures taken with them!  We almost felt like celebrities ourselves!  We also visited the Dungeons where we learnt lots of gruesome facts about medieval torture devices - it was scary but a lot of fun...

With excitement and anticipation in the air, we set off eagerly to our holiday destination - the beautiful Potters Leisure Resort!  Over the week we watched and danced to many a wonderful show, from The Jersey Boys to a 60's tribute!  Of course, we were last off the dance floor most nights, impressing everyone with our enthusiastic dancing!     We tried our hands at archery, mini golf, line dancing and took part in a few quizzes -  Watch out, team JollyDays about! We spent some glorious time down on the beach, breathing in the invigorating fresh sea air, eating ice creams and flying kites - oh what fun we had!      One morning we went swimming, enjoying the calm atmosphere of the pool. We swam some relaxing lengths and bobbed up and down in the shallow end.  We were utterly relaxed!  We enjoyed some games of table tennis,  darts and snooker - some impressive shots were made.      During our hol...

What a cracking holiday to the Norfolk Broads we had!  We spent some fantastic time on our motor cruiser, spotting all of the beautiful local wildlife.  We all got a chance to be the captain of the boat and show off how well could steer the boat! We also got to put up the sails - a fantastic group achievement!  On one occasion we stopped to feed the ducks who were very hungry indeed!   We visited the Magic Kingdom, a brilliant museum with interactive shows, a magician doing lots of impressive tricks, a stage performance by an illusionist and lots of historical memorabilia from various magicians!  We even got to dress up ourselves - what a fantastic trip!  We visited Cromer and had a beautifully sunny walk along the seafront and had some fun in the amusement arcade!    We had a brilliant evening at the greyhound races at Yarmouth Stadium - it was such fun watching the dogs running so fast!  We put our bets on and a big well ...
