Blists Hill Victorian Village

Thinking of visiting here next week. Can you take your own food in, as in a picnic?
Any other advice appreciated.

    Yes you can. Plenty of places to sit (benches, walls, lawns, little bit of woodland,) and also there is a reasonably priced cafe in there too. Me and my daughter had a cappucino each and a cake each for seven quid in total.

    It's a bit more expensive for full meals though, so yes, take a picnic/sandwiches/cereal bars/crisps/a bottle of squash etc. And maybe several bottles of mineral water. If it's a warm day, you'll get thirsty.

    It's a great place to visit. Lots of people walking around in Victorian gear, a Victorian bank, Victorian shops and stores (all open!) Take your camera!

    Oh, and the last time I went, there was an outside loo like this. (my nan had one of them in her old Victorian house!)

    Hope you and your family enjoy yourselves. :)
    Proud to have lost over 3 stone (45 pounds,) in the past year! :j Now a size 14!

    The cakes are fresh made & just so delicious I could munch my way into happy bankruptcy & the loos are pretty clean if not this-week-modern.
    If the weather is kind, I think you'll have a brilliant day (but gods yes do please take all the water you can lug.)
