New London cultural destination to open in the city with Vegas-like dome attraction
Plus, a first-of-its-kind Titanic attraction is coming to England this summer, and is expected to make guests feel like they're on the ship NEW DOME-ENSION New London cultural destination to open in the city with Vegas-like dome attraction A NEW cultural destination is coming to London with a giant Vegas-like dome.

The centre and a number of retail shops will be located on the ground floor. And as part of the project, there will be a main auditorium with a double-height domed ceiling. Whilst The Holborn Dome aims to commemorate the earlier Knights Templar Church, which was demolished at the site a long time ago - plans reveal a similar dome-like structure to that of the Vegas Sphere. Advertisement The round cultural space will be similar to the round churches that the Templars used to build. And the design of the dome is inspired by the former Knights Templar Church - which once stood in nearly the same spot as where the new dome will sit. The auditorium will be used for exhibitions and provide an immersive experience. When the site eventually opens, there will also be parts of the walls from the original church revealed and put on display where possible. Advertisement There will be a remodelled pocket park at the rear of the building too, and upgraded public routes around the entire site. Facilities such as the water fountain and toilets will also be upgraded. One of the world's deepest bars to open in London Once completed, there will also be a number of exhibition spaces across the 10-storey-tall destination. According to MyLondon, deputy Tom Sleigh, chair of the planning and transportation committee, said: "This is exactly the kind of scheme we want to see more of in the Square Mile - best-in-class office space that keeps London globally competitive, while also delivering public spaces that everyone can enjoy. Advertisement "Supporting the primary business function of the City through meeting this huge level of demand for office space is critical. "But I'm particularly pleased by the retention of sections of the Knights Templar, a brilliant way to connect the new venue with the history of the site." 4 Located next to Chancery Lane tube station, the new venue will replace the surrounding offices and shops Credit: Instagram/Make Architects Of course, The Holborn Dome will not be anywhere near the same size as the Vegas Sphere .

I stayed at the English seaside caravan park with private lido, Vegas-like cabanas and cosy pub
You can choose to have the most secluded and private break or throw yourself into eight hours of non-stop activities and entertainment HAVE TO SEA IT I stayed at the English seaside caravan park with private lido, Vegas-like cabanas and cosy pub THE West Sussex town of Selsey famously has just one road in and out of it – but the seaside spot is so fun-packed, the exit lane should be scrapped. My family and I had just spent a long weekend at the Cove's Seal Bay resort, where every lodge, caravan and holiday home sits just a short stroll from the ocean. Advertisement 5 Selsey is a coastal gem and perfect for the whole family Credit: Supplied 5 Some of the lodges at Seal Bay are just steps from the shore Credit: Supplied We were staying in Green Lawns, the most rural of the site's four themed sections, which lives up to its name with a pond and trees that my sons were constantly scaling. Our classic lodge was filled with mod cons, including a deep bath, huge shower, washing machine, dishwasher and classy electric fire. For nearby food, this zone is also home to the giant Viking Bar which, despite looking like an imposing cowboy saloon from outside, is like a warm and welcoming local pub. A little farther away, the burgers, beers and ice creams at Cafe Lido are of bafflingly good quality — yet the 'double burger' is just £9.99 and the classic hotdog not even a fiver. Advertisement We have holidayed on caravan sites for almost 40 years and having affordable restaurants and action-packed activites within walking distance of your home is a huge perk. But only now, after all those years, do I recognise how vital holiday parks might be for little ones with special educational needs, or even younger kids who tire more easily. When long flights, unfamiliar surroundings or sensory overloads might be too much for someone, places like Seal Bay are so important. You can choose to have the most secluded and private break or throw yourself into eight hours of non-stop activities and entertainment. Advertisement A short stroll from our lodge was the White Horse area, offering lots of sporting action. Then there's the Dockyard, which has a stunning lido, with a splash area and swimming pools surrounded by bright-orange cabanas that wouldn't look amiss in Vegas — these come at an extra charge. Martin Lewis gives travel advice about checking your passport Indoors there is a nine-hole crazy- golf course, state-of-the-art climbing wall and a death-defying bounce- playground above your heads. And around the corner is the vast and lush sports field where the Seal Bay Soccer Academy is run by brilliant staff with grade-A equipment — Mitre balls, goals, bibs, cones, hurdles and slalom poles. Advertisement We had a family match against new friends Taylor, Sarah, Mick and Archie, who made the hour fly by. The largest zone in the holiday complex is West Sands, which sits right on the beach. It even has a wave simulator, Wave Rider, open May to September. We had blistering weather so spent as much time as possible on the beach or in the ocean, but the indoor Oasis Bay pool is ideal for wetter weather. We ventured down to this area on Saturday and found a giant TV screen, on the beach rocks, showing the FA Cup Final. Advertisement 5 Surf's up at the wave simulator at the resort Credit: Supplied 5 Have fun ten-pin bowling Credit: Supplied My boys split their time between watching Crystal Palace spring a brilliant upset over Man City and diving into the waves. Then we headed for a BBQ dinner at Smokey's Ocean Bar. Advertisement There, the lads demolished the Pitmaster's Feast of brisket, pulled pork, ribs, buffalo wings, sausage, chilli and sides and somehow had room for ice-cream sundaes. A family of three were stuffed for just over £50. We used our stroll back to base camp to walk off the meat sweats but there is a courtesy bus — that loops around the park, stopping at all the key areas — plus electric bikes and pedal go-karts to hire. On Sunday we finished off with the brilliant Zorbing experience — you strap your child into a giant bubble and let them play crash-test dummies — then another swim and an archery session, before my kids slept the whole way home. Advertisement And I would love to tell you we partied all weekend into the early hours but we were shattered and asleep by 8pm every day, dreaming of the next day's adventure. 5 There's entertainment galore on site Credit: Supplied

Bridge completed, providing access to tribal land for Catawba Indian Nation
A federal grant has facilitated the completion of the Rivercrest Road Bridge, a two-lane structure providing access to over 120 acres of tribal land for the Catawba Indian Nation. 'It's an exciting day': Crews break ground on new Kings Mountain casino The newly completed bridge, which spans just under a mile, opens up previously difficult-to-reach land that the Catawba Indian Nation plans to develop. The tribe intends to use the land for new housing, court offices, and business ventures, which are expected to significantly benefit the community. 'It's gonna be a very prosperous zone as soon as it gets going and we will be getting up soon within the next year,' said Chief Brian Harris of the Catawba Indian Nation. The development of new homes on the land will enable thousands of tribal members to return to the reservation, according to the Catawba Nation. The Rivercrest Road Bridge project marks a significant step for the Catawba Indian Nation, paving the way for economic growth and community development on their land.
