The One Show’s Alex Jones has recommended an outdoor family activity spot ahead of the half term. The presenter shares three children with her husband Charlie Thomson, and often shares their elaborate and active holidays on her social media platforms.
The family have been staying at Villa Farm in Aust, just across the old Severn Bridge. During their stay they’ve been looking after goats, and bathing in a wilderness tub, but Alex also shared on Instagram that her sons and husband were trying out a new hobby.
The family had visited the inland surf destination, The Wave, in Bristol., which Alex recommended for those learning or wanting to surf. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter
She shared: “We’ve come here to The Wave today. Now, this is a man-made kind of beach with guaranteed waves so you can learn to surf, or if you surf already you can.
“I think get some membership here. There’s a cafe, there’s a playground.
“The boys are on dry land at the minute having a lesson. So, yeah let’s see how it goes when they get in the water. Annie and I are going to find a hot chocolate.”
The mother of three showed updates throughout the day of her husband and sons attempting to surf at the Bristol attraction.
After initially mastering their skills on dry land, the three of them headed into the water with the instructor. Alex posted another photo where one of her sons was surfing, she captioned it “we have success!”
Later on she added: “Also, a brilliant place for scooters and balance bikes. There’s an actual skate park too..
“A great time had by all an delicious lunch too. We’ll be back in the summer.”
So, if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this half term, The Wave in Bristol is Alex Jones-approved.
It’s just under an hour away from Cardiff, located at Washingpool Farm, which is situated on the northern outskirts of the city of Bristol.
Its website says: “The Wave Bristol is a slice of the ocean inland. Where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities can experience the joy of waves and their many physical and mental health benefits.
“It’s about getting back to nature, improving health and wellbeing, connecting with other people, enjoying wonderful food and drink, immersing yourself in an incredible day out and having a load of fun in the process!”
It offers a surfing session, surfing lessons, as well as summer bundles, however its opening times vary so it’s best to check the website before heading down. From Thursday, April 2, it will be open seven days a week, but until that point it’s open weekly from Thursday to Sunday.
It even holds events, and this Saturday, February 21 it will be hosting a GB Surfing Expression Session from 6pm until 7pm. Here you can watch the UK’s top pros unleash high performance manoeuvres for free. It will also have Red Bull DJs and a lakeside MC.
