Dreamery Hideaway (formerly jollydays)

The Dreamery Hideaway sits just outside York, a quirky spot that's equal parts curious and Instagram-friendly. What you're looking at is a converted venue - formerly known as Jollydays - that's now trading as something altogether more mysterious. The actual setup isn't entirely clear from the road, which adds to the intrigue, but it's the sort of place that draws couples after a proper day out and families wanting somewhere different for an afternoon.

The location works well if you're based at one of the nearby parks - Fox Hill Holiday Park and Bugthorpe Grange Glamping are both within three miles, so it's an easy detour from your caravan or glamping bell tent. Flaxton Meadows Campsite sits a bit further out at just over four miles, but still close enough for a trip.

Honestly? This one's a bit of a lottery. The venue trades on mystery and Instagram appeal rather than traditional attractions, so what you actually get to do depends entirely on what's running when you visit. Check ahead before making the journey - ringing ahead is essential because opening hours and pricing aren't straightforward. It'll take anywhere from an hour to a couple of hours depending on what's on offer that day. Best suited to couples or smaller groups after something different rather than families with young kids expecting the usual amenities. Worth a look if you're staying nearby and fancy a bit of adventure into the unknown.
