No treasure hunts, fabulous finds or new creations this weekend as I've had a few days off and spent some quality time with the family.
Visiting Matlock Bath in Derbyshire and what a pretty part of the country it is. So much so we want to go back and explore more.

We chose Matlock Bath as I had seen photo's on social media of their illuminations along the river. This is only done for the weekend evenings in September and October but was started 119 years ago. A family of four entrance is only £12 so value for money, especially on the Saturday evenings as there is a firework display too.
These illuminations are fabulous to see and we thoroughly enjoyed it, it's very family oriented with some entertainment for the younger children, small rides, traditional games like hook a duck. However if your passed that age it does mean a bit of standing around waiting so make sure you dress up warm and comfy. There's food available, hot and cold drinks although not the cheapest in town but then they never are at these types of do's.

As you can see it gets busy but everyone can get to see the boats and the fireworks. However I've not got any pics of the fireworks, I only had my mobile so if you want to see them you'll have to go and see them before October's over.
