Moley was lucky enough to be invited to a preview of Thomas Land at Drayton Manor Park and is delighted to report that it does look great fun - and all the better for that fact that the majority of the 12 new Thomas and Friends themed rides are suitable for the younger family members.

Most rides will be ok from about 3 years old, though height restrictions do apply on some rides. The rideas are designed so that parents can accompany their kids too to share in the fun.

Thomas Land is a great, fun day out for younger families. A bit on the expensive side, but if you can get any discounted tickets, it is good value. The recent Kelloggs 2 for 1 offers on zoos and aquaruims is valid for Drayton Manor because of it's zoo, so if you can still get your hands on a packet of cerelas with the voucher, it's well worth it.

Drayton Manor Theme Park is this weekend hosting three concerts in support of Birmingham Children’s Hospital. These concerts are:

• 8th August: ‘Abba Mania’. The number one Abba tribute band will perform some of the most memorable and popular songs in music history. The show has toured the world since 1999 and is now heading to Drayton Manor Theme Park for a spectacular evening performance.

• 9th August: ‘Viva Las Vegas’. The King is coming to Drayton Manor Theme Park. Heath Ashton, winner of GMTV’s Best Elvis competition, will perform some of the legendary rock n roll star’s best hits. So bring a picnic and enjoy the show. The above concerts begin at 7pm and both will be followed by a firework display.

• 10th August: ‘Kylie Mania’.
