Family Fun at McDonald’s UK
As a mum I’ve always seen McDonald’s as a quick, convenient stop off for tea. Our little treat is usually on a Thursday night after gymnastics. It’s on the way home and it’s too late to cook anything once we’ve got back. After all, that’s all that McDonald’s is for right?
Well, no, not anymore.
This summer, McDonald’s have opened up their doors to families and have been putting on free, fun events across the
Getting stuck in
This week Charlotte and I visited a local McDonald’s in Dunchurch and, with some of our friends, got involved in one of their family events.

September 9, 2019 at 8:03 pmI think it’s great that they offer table service and you can order nearby! Especially when events like this are happening and you don’t want to miss a thing or leave the kids. Great balloon modelling and activities!
