Fin-tastic Meet Up at SEA LIFE Manchester

In November we hosted our final Meet Up of 2025, and had such a wonderful trip to SEA LIFE Manchester with our child growth community. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fin-tastic trip – roll on 2026 and our next series of Meet Ups!

Thanks to Merlin’s Magic Wand Children’s Charity we’ve been able to offer tickets to eligible families through their Magical Days Out opportunity, allowing the CGF to share this brilliant Meet Up opportunity with our members and the wider child growth community in 2025. They’ve kindly provided tickets for our Meet Ups at LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort in May, LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Birmingham in August and this trip to SEA Life Manchester.

About our magical Meet Up…

 Merlin’s Magic Wand Magic Days Out would like us to share the magic with children and families who have never received a Merlin Magic Wand experience before – if you have previously received Merlin’s Magic Wand Magic Days Out tickets please note you are not eligible to apply due to the terms of the tickets we have been gifted.

We can give tickets to immediate family and carers, as long as the child aged between 2-18 years old with a growth condition attends with them on the day.

The tickets are for entry to SEA LIFE Manchester, please note accessibility passes and parking / transport to the venue need to be arranged by yourself.

Please complete the form by Wednesday 23rd October 2025, and a member of the CGF Meet Up team will be in touch if you have been successful. If we get more requests than the number of tickets we have available we will draw family groups out of a hat.

Family fun at our LEGOLAND® Meet Up

This August Laura and Sally from our team joined a fantastic group of children and their families at LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre in Birmingham for our latest Meet Up event.

Our Meet Up events first started in early 2024 and we now hold four Meet Ups a year in different locations and venues to bring together the child growth community. The events are designed for children and families to meet new and familiar faces for a fun day out, and we were delighted to have 68 attendees join us for a magical day out.

Thanks to Merlin’s Magic Wand Children’s Charity we’ve been able to offer tickets to eligible families through their Magical Days Out opportunity, allowing the CGF to share this brilliant Meet Up opportunity with our members and the wider child growth community.

The support of our donors, fundraisers and members allows us to make these type of support events and activities possible, and we can’t wait for our next Meet Up already! Read more about our Meet Up events here.
