Hopewell Colliery

Reviewed By whiteleybob - Fareham, United Kingdom

Fascinating one hour tour with a short walk down the pit. Very informative and insightful. Couldn’t fault Richard who was our patient guide (and also a miner) - a real character with a great sense of humour. Loved it. Great cafe too.

I bought my son a 'pub at Home ' from Hillside Brewery to help him celebrate his 2nd lockdown birthday at home and it was brilliant! The beer especially went down very well. The box contained a 5L keg of beer, a bottle of wine, 2 beer glasses, a couple of packets of crisps, a pack of playing cards and a spotify playlist. Great present, speedy delivery.

The Palace Cinema Cinderford

Reviewed By rebeccacT7040RQ - Gloucestershire, United Kingdom

This is our family's favourite cinema in the area......let me tell you why. You are assured of a warm welcome in this wonderful cinema with very affordable prices for families. Housed in an Art Deco building with original fixtures and fittings, tickets are priced at £3.50 and reasonably priced refreshments include a range of hot & cold drinks, savoury snacks, sweets and popcorn in a variety of bucket sizes to suit. The seats are comfortable and it's warm and cosy, with two screens: a large screen downstairs (which has some double seats) and a smaller one upstairs. Great for children's birthday visits, as the cinema has a lovely Art Deco cafe room at the back where families can meet up to drop off their children beforehand - it's like stepping back in time. Always showing the latest films and a matinee available too. We love the Palace!

Coleford Great Western Railway Museum

A Museum housed in the original G.W.R. Goods station of 1883! The Great western railway Museum is housed in one of the last remaining permanent railway buildings left in the Forest of Dean on the original site of Coleford's railway yard. Its full of local railway history and artefacts it also has a 71/4 gauge miniature railway which runs around its site for all age groups! also has a full size Peckett locomotive in the engine shed and restored signal box.

Reviewed By Y2201VRandrewb

The volunteers were very friendly and demonstrated the signal box providing a lot of interesting detail on the equipment and methods used. A trip round on the miniature steam railway and a good look round the museum - packed with items and information on the railways of the area. Good value for money. Very enjoyable few hours!

Reviewed By Suzyfield4

Fantastic place for a birthday party. Everyone had such a good time and have been raving about it ever since. Sarah and the lads were all really lovely and helpful - we had to cancel at short notice due to illness and then again because of lockdown and they were just so understanding. Some grown ups enjoyed a cuppa on the decking area, whilst others got stuck in with the kids. Cannot recommend Battlesports enough!

Reviewed By WhiteoakBristol

A very interesting afternoon. Our guide was informative and, over a welcoming glass of wine, told us about the history of this new vineyard and how the various grape varieties are used to make the different wines they produce. We also saw the pressing in operation and the fermentation shed, where the equipment was spotless.Then the hightlight - the tasting! We were given a range of different wines to try and the oportunity to buy if we liked them. This was a very relaxed afternoon.

Crocs R Us

Reviewed By jadewZ2249QV

My girlfriend booked for the experience for my 30th Birthday. The best most intimate contact you will get with alligators in the UK for certain! Beautiful alligators, charismatic in their own ways but Very tame and you are in safe hands. All the guys here were friendly, very laid back atmosphere, all round amazing experience. Even got an experience session with Wendy the largest female Mississippi Aligator ( incredible) as they said we had travelled a distance to see them they wanted us to make the most of it. Can’t thank these guys enough for yesterday, it was a dream come true.
