The Kinima in the Woods
Brilliant little old time picture house tucked away in the woods at Woodhall Spa, they still have an organist pop up through the stage floor during intermission and play tunes (not sure if they do this for all films or just some, so probably best to ring them and ask) well worth a visit.

Donna Nook Seals
WARNING == They have now started charging £5 for car parking at Donna Nook which is an absolute disgrace and to be honest its not even worth a £1 to park there as apart from 10 mins seeing a few seals there really isn't any thing else there to do or see.
Your now just herded like cattle along a crowded chalky wet  walkway, I'm afraid the magic of Donna Nook has truly been lost, now that greed has raised its ugly head.
