Winnie the Pooh Exhibition


On Saturday the 27th January, me and my boyfriend went to London and went to the Victoria and Albert Museum to attend the Winnie the Pooh exhibition.

This exhibition is very centred around the original Winnie the Pooh that A A Milne wrote as stories. It was amazing to see the origins of Winnie the Pooh and all the original drawings that the museum were able to get hold off.


You walk into a big Hallo on the wall and there's various merchandise on the wall which was interesting to see how much merchandise there was surrounding Winnie the Pooh around the world. It included the Cath Kidston Winnie the Pooh dress and the Winnie the Pooh plush from the Disney Store.

The detailing in this exhibition is incredible they really put thought into how it looks, like there was stairs with a Winnie the pooh quote, they'd made Christopher Robin's bedroom which was amazing and that was the start of the journey through Winnie the Pooh and the drawings all along the wall was amazing, you then came around to the front of Pooh's house which was amazing and cute and we sat on the log and took a selfie. They built a little bridge that had a moving river projected under it to represent Pooh sticks. It really was amazing and the drawings were incredible. However a word of warning it is only small and at weekends can be busy so you won't see everything and will have to wait to have a proper look.







You came out into the shop at the museum into their little Winnie the Pooh section which I did buy a few bits and pieces from because they were too cute to resist. There was so much you could buy and all the characters were represented. I bought the Winnie the Pooh pin badge (£5), some postcards (5 for £3) my favourite being the map of the Hundred Acre Wood, Eeyore badge for my mum (£1) and the Bees are getting Suspicious drawing unframed (£15).



I would highly recommend this exhibition if you love Winnie the Pooh, you definitely get your money's worth at £8 a ticket for an adult and £5 for student (concession). Also I've wanted to go in the Victoria and Albert museum forever and it was a truly stunning building.

Review- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour

This weekend I went and watched the tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I’ve not seen this show before but it has been on my list for a long time. I’d only heard one or two songs before so I was going in with no ideas of what it was like and I found it very enjoyable. Background This is based on the true story of 16 year old Jamie New who dreams of being a drag queen as well as wearing a dress to his prom. Throughout the show we see Jamie go through a journey of self discovery which has so many highs and lows. Along the way we meet people who are and aren’t supportive of his dream and how much prejudice he has to contend with. The show first opened on the West End in 2017 and is currently on its second UK tour. Cast The cast of this show were fabulous, unfortunately didn't get to see Ivano Turco play Jamie, Finton Flynn was incredible in those red heels. He portrayed the emotion of playing Jamie perfectly as well showing the young silly ...

Carrie Hope Fletcher Book Signing

Hey Guys On Monday 12th September I attended Carrie Hope Fletcher's book signing for her fiction book On The Other Side at the Glee Club in Birmingham. This is the second time I have met Carrie and once again she was an absolute pleasure to listen too. I attended this event on my own, and I must stay that I think the Glee Club and the Waterstones team planned and hosted the event so well considering there was 350 people that turned up to this event and each one of those people had bought a ticket and a book. We were seated quite early as doors opened at 6 and I was in a seat by 6:30 with the event starting at 7, however there were people who turned up 10 minutes before the event and had to stand up because of all the seats that were taken which gives you an idea of how many people attended this event. Before the signing of the actual books, there was a 40 minute question and answer session with a representative from Waterstones asking Carrie questions about her book, being...

Review: Beauty and the Beast Musical

In March, me and two of my friends went to see Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the Birmingham Hippodrome. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite Disney films and I was excited to see what this interpretation had in stall. The fairy-tale was first adapted into the much-loved Disney animated film in 1991 and became a Broadway production in 1993. The show opens with the familiar voice of Angela Lansbury and the enchanting music that we all recognise and with the help of the beautiful rose projection we are transported into the magic. Director Matt West leaves the story exactly how it is, only adding extra bits of comedy here and there which the audience engage with easily. The cast all suit their characters and portray them to perfection. Grace Swaby- Moore, understudy to Courtney Stapleton, was the embodiment of Belle, she captured the innocence of the character and belted the songs to perfection. Shaq Taylor portrayed the Beast will emotion and ferocity when needed. His voice ...
