What IS Shrek’s Adventure all about? | Merlin Annual Pass
It took a short while, but our group suddenly understood our flight attendant wasn’t actually a slightly odd member of staff, but rathr a properly funny character that I wish I’d engaged in conversation sooner.

A helicopter ride could become part of your itinerary, especially if you have the forethought to save up...

When we joined we were at a castle; there was a sign-up offer from English Heritage and we decided it would be a very good investment. We were right – we have easily made our money back over the years, and have so many happy memories with a growing...
