Watch The Snowman with a live orchestra

ad| This magical experience is coming to Birmingham for one day only in the run up to Christmas

The much loved film will be projected onto a big screen at Birmingham Town Hall with the unforgettable soundtrack performed by a professional orchestra.

You can also expect a special visit from The Snowman, a festive medley by Cbeebies Musical Storyland composer Daniel Whitley and a Christmas themed Shaun the Sheep film.

This is perfect for all ages and a gorgeous way to spend an evening during the festive period

Absolutely loads on across the Midlands if you are looking for stuff to do with your kids this November

It seems Christmas stuff is starting early too if you're already getting excited for the festive period

But if you're not there's still plenty to choose from that's not all about Christmas

What are you planning to go to?

This is a perfect family walk in the Midlands which starts and ends with a café and has a giant cave to explore

It can be pretty steep in places, but younger kids should manage it fairly easily, but wear sensible shoes!

Comment CAVE and I'll send you the step by step directions and the best place to park

50 places where your kids can eat for free or cheaply this Oct half term.

I've checked each and every one of these and there are some brilliant options if you wanted to go out to eat as a family but you don't want to break the bank

If I've missed any, let me know in the comments and tell me where you'll be heading to eat?
