Continuing our attempt to visit as many board game cafes and play new games we recently visited The Board House in Crewkerne. Although we have quite a collection of board games at home, we also enjoy trying new ones. Board game cafes are a great place to try new games out. We booked in advance…
If you have a few days in Bath I would recommend a visit to the Assembly Rooms in Bath. They are owned and managed by the National Trust and you can visit by pre-booked tour only. These are known as the New Assembly Rooms as they were actually the third set to be built in…
