I first visited Eden Hall Day Spa in the north of Nottinghamshire around five years ago with my mum and totally fell in love the place. I’ve since been back several times, most recently with my mum and sister, and always have the best experience there – the warmest welcome awaits you at reception when checking in, the changing room and spa faculties are second to none and the food is to die for! It's the perfect place to visit with mum on Mother's Day.

Escape rooms, for one reason or another, have experienced a surge in popularity in the last decade. Perhaps it’s because we love to watch others struggling with complex challenges, perplexing puzzles and ludicrous labyrinths on television (The Crystal Maze, anyone?) howling at the screen while the frantic, fumbling participants crack under pressure.

It’s no secret that the National Justice Museum has, well, secrets. Just one step into the imposing entrance hall of this majestic building and you can feel seven centuries of history bearing down upon you. How many thousands of convicts have walked through these walls to find out their fate? And don’t even get us started on the dungeons and all of the terrible tales they have to tell.
