My son had his 18th Birthday Go-Karting yesterday (24/04/2021) Jacob is really unique- he has autism & is very particular about certain things. We were helped by Charlie who was simply amazing from start to finish. He helped organise, plan, prepare such a brilliant party. Even during the (end of thankfully) the covid pandemic we couldn’t have asked for more. The strict covid rules were applied at all times & the karting is of a real high standard. Jacob is absolutely beaming at coming first (obviously pre arranged) and spoke for the whole rest of the day about it. What an amazing experience- thank you Charlie & FF team. Five stars from us all!!

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park, home of the WW2 Codebreakers, was once Britain's best kept secret and is now a vibrant heritage attraction open daily for visitors to learn how the Codebreakers' breath-taking achievements helped shorten WW2 by up to two years.

Bletchley Park contains a beautiful mansion house, park and lake. Also houses The National Museum of Computing. After the war, it was taken over as a Management Centre and my father was sent there - his office was on the first floor, front of the mansion house, just right of the main entrance. I myself attended a two-week training course there in 1961 so I know it of old and the present. In 2005 I attended a wedding there, the ceremony was held in the library and after in the dance hall. It is open every day. Special Note: Only assistance and guide dogs allowed in. Summer opening: (1 Mar – 31 Oct) From 09.30 to 17.00. Winter opening: (1 Nov – 28 Feb) From 09.30 to 16.00. Online advance prices: Adult – £19.00, Concessions – £16.60 Child 12 to 17 – £11.40 Under 12 – FREE Family Ticket – £49.40, 2 adult & 2 child under 17. On the day prices: Adult – £20.00, Concessions – £17.50 Child 12 to 17 – £12.00 Under 12 – FREE Family Ticket – £52.00, 2 adult & 2 child under 17. During WW2, in 1938, Winston Churchill chose Bletchley Park to be the home of Station X, housing code-breakers, the most famous being Alan Turin who set up the world's first programmable digital electronic computer called 'Colossus'. The scores of wooden 'Huts' that were built in the park, many of which are still standing house historical exhibits, including part of a rebuilt Colossus I was embarrassed to see an old mechanical adding machine on display that I used myself in the 1960s!

Campbell Park

Located at the heart of Milton Keynes, Campbell Park hosts many of Milton Keynes’ major festivals and events. Its imaginative mix of formal gardens, water features, woodland and open pasture mean it’s an ideal spot to enjoy the changing seasons. At the top of park is a memorial to one of Milton Keynes’ founders, Lord 'Jock' Campbell of Eskan, reading 'If you seek his memorial look around'. A new piece of public art, the MK Rose, created by internationally renowned artist Gordon Young, was installed on the site of the former fountain and pond and officially launched in November 2013. Nearby, the Belvedere, offers views into Bedfordshire. Look out, too, for the labyrinth with a working sundial at its centre. Chain Reaction, the distinctive sculpture overlooking Campbell Park, celebrates all those who played a part in Milton Keynes’ creation. It is one of several artworks in the park which are also part of the Milton Keynes Art-walk.
