Happy New Year!
Having little ones means that we won’t be going out on New Years Eve this year, we are fine with that and happy just to have a nice meal, light the fire, play a board game or watch a film and then have an early night! It also means that we are keen to go and do something as a family on New Year’s Day, previously we have been to the Sunninghill Wheelbarrow Race which is always great fun to watch.
Below are a few things that you could do on New Year’s Day in Berkshire. Click the links for more details:
Watch The Sunninghill Annual Wheelbarrow Race (organised by the Rotary Club of Ascot), 12 noon.
