“We had a wonderful night inspired by the Virtual Sleepover. We had a Roman meal, followed the video, dressed up, completed the activities, built a den and three of us slept the night in our sitting-room fort in front of our open fire. It was certainly memorable and something the whole family enjoyed. Thank you for all the effort that you put into it.” Feedback, 2025

“My two grandson’s (6 & 8) thoroughly enjoyed the experience! They were both totally engaged and took delight in making the crafts. The Roman pancakes we made for breakfast! Well done all the team – a big hit here at Grandma’s!” Feedback, 2025
