Best flying show I have seen, really interesting education about the birds and very passionate people, the birds welfare is a priority and they do some great work - we loved it so much we stayed for the second flights, highlight was the Sea Eagle in flight and the Burrowing Owl and the x4 kites flying together, peregrine was amazingly fast and the European owl so silent, vultures too were fascinating, highly recommend for everyone - food was good too at the cafe and locally sourced and rubbish recycled. Do go along and support them as I imagine it is very expensive to run, they do rescue work as well and breeding programme for the endangered species.

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.

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!

We had a great morning playing golf for my 40th birthday with my husband and 7 year old son, brilliant course, staff are lovely and friendly, course has fun holes and 2 raft crossings and water features, good social distancing measures and being outside we felt safe. We didn't have time to stop for refreshments afterwards but the cakes looked lovely and the prices looked good. We are definitely coming back with friends soon and we'll stay for food afterwards. I would highly recommend this place xx

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!
