Taking to her Instagram page, she told her 474,000 followers: "Embracing the great British staycation, off to the Black Country Living Museum, somewhere I've not visited since I was 11!!
"Thanks to Gemma from tennis who recommended this… We loved it! 1940/50 immersive experience…
"We played on the old fashioned fair, ate fish and chips, bought sweets from the retro shop, watched live demos of bricks and chains being made, had a school lesson 40's style, took the bus…
"The whole experience is still as fabulous as ever. The kids loved it."
Anna, who hosts the LuAnna podcast with pal Luisa Zissman, continued: "And we thought the alleyways and parts of the village looked familiar. It turns out they filmed Peaky Blinders there.
"If you're looking for a day out, I can thoroughly recommend it."
However, she concluded the post with a top tip for visitors: "Word of advice, don't let your kids wear white fabric sandals…the coal dust from the mines is unforgiving."
Many of Anna's followers replied that they'd also enjoyed a day out at the Black Country Living Museum, which is rated as the 'number one thing to do in Dudley' on TripAdvisor.
One said: "Best fish and chips ever!! Love it there." Another wrote: "This has brought back great memories… Loved this place… School trip on the way to the Year 6 residential."
A third commented: "Black Country Museum is bostin', cor beat it."
