Stonehenge The BIG Mini Golf in Hemsby, Norfolk

A look at the Stonehenge-themed minigolf course in Hemsby, Norfolk in June 2010 and May 2022.


Stonehenge The BIG Mini Golf course was the 174th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in June 2010 when it was a 15-hole layout. We first visited it in May 2009 when it was a 12-hole course. It's now an 18-hole course.

Here are two videos of us playing the course in June 2010.



Here are some videos of the course on our most recent visit in May 2022.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It's always excellent to find out about new minigolf courses - whether they're permanent, pop-ups, or refurbs - and the English Heritage pop-up activities look like the courses are in nice spots for a round during the summer.

My little brother Christopher, a charter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, has been a member of English Heritage and he and his family have been to a lot of English Heritage properties over the years (including Audley End House and Gardens, Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden, Pendennis Castle, and Wrest Park). It'll be interesting to see if they will be going to any of the six sites with Crazy Golf this summer.

Happy Summerween!

Today is Summerween.


A Summerween Jack-o-Melon

Summerween is celebrated annually on the 22nd June. 

The quirky event is also on the second to last Friday of the month of June. So you get two bites of the cherry (or should that be watermelon) to celebrate it.

Typically it's a very rainy and grey day here in Cheadle Hulme. Let's hope we get some sunny summer weather on Monday.
