Something a little different for Easter this year… 👀✨
Hellfire Caves are turning into a magical underground Easter adventure from 28th March – 19th April 🐣
Think exploring winding caves with a bit of mystery, a touch of Easter magic, and something that feels totally different to your usual day out 🕯️
It’s one of those experiences that’s just as exciting for adults as it is for little ones a mix of adventure, exploring and a little bit of wonder ✨
Such a unique way to celebrate Easter and make it feel extra special 🤍

“We asked Paul Whitehead, ‘What is it you’ve lost? What are you looking for?’ The response came through clear: HEART.
We’ve felt something pull us back as we tried to leave the caves.
And from a distance… watched a dark shadow walk straight into the wall.”
Some questions get answered. Others leave more behind.
– Mark Kenny @ghosthuntermark

The Hellfire Caves was unlike any location I have ever investigated before😨 This place was truly creepy at night…I can’t wait to go back. Would you stay the night here?
“I felt completely fine walking into the caves… until I reached the section near the Banqueting Hall. Suddenly I felt like I couldn’t breathe — like something heavy was pressing down on me. I had to get out.
When I mentioned it in the shop, the staff said others have felt the same. A medium once told them there’s a presence in that part of the caves…” – Joanna
Some energies are hard to ignore.

👀 We headed over to check out Quest Week at the @hellfirecaves on Monday & what a FANTASTIC day we had! PR 👀 The caves were fascinating & fun, dark & wet! The girls loved it! We met a Goblin along the way ( my girls couldn’t believe it ) but you could also meet an Elf or maybe something else on your adventures!? 👀 We cannot believe those caves were dug out in just 4 years …. BY HAND! Honestly incredible & so so VERY interesting! 👀 We parked at the bottom at @clarascorner.co & walked up, just a 3 minute walk! 👀 BUT I can’t wait to show you what else we got up too! We had the BEST day! This experience really is great for all ages! 👀 We highly recommend this BRILLIANT 5 🌟 experience for ALL the family! Keep your eyes peeled for my next reel coming! 👀 #hellfirecaves #daysoutwithkids #vlogger #mumvlog #mumlife 👀

40 people for three courses 250m+ below ground….

Arguably slightly easier the second time round as we knew the nature of the beast but I have to say the shuttles up and down to the caves (punctuated by occasional bat trying to fly at our heads….) did *not* feel any easier🦇
-
A delicious menu, all piping hot where it needed to be which I am SO proud of:
🏆 beetroot borani, charred little gem, shirazi, dukkah 🥬
🏆 whole roast fillet of beef, roast potatoes, confit chickpeas, tenderstem, glazed carrots 🐮
(+ / - a couple of vegans in there to keep us on our toes because cooking in a cave is not hard enough….🫠)
🏆 rum roasted pineapple, hot chocolate sauce, toasted coconut 🍍🥥
-
And to start, the show stopping butter candles (with edible wick, which I cleverly outsourced to @sassyskitchenuk having just completed my Middle Eastern chef’s odyssey….), @bigdogmaidenhead sourdough bread 🕯️🍞🌟
