The show is bursting with fun for toddlers, teenagers and adults alike both on and off the water! Activities include face painting, a traditional funfair, over 200 stalls, African dance and drumming workshops, story-telling, a bouncy castle, canoeing, colourful characters, trip boats and juggling workshops. If your kids love animals then the miniature farmyard or exotic animal displays are great areas for them to meet and touch their farmyard favourites or more unusual animals such as skunk, snakes, scorpions and even meerkats!
Your ticket also includes a free boat trip on one of the prettiest canals in the country – who knows you may even end up buying a bargain boat.
When batteries need recharging there is a delicious selection of quality food from traditional fish and chips to tasty Thai…not forgetting a choice of 40 different Real Ales to wash it all down. Alternatively bring a picnic and watch the narrow boats drift by as you listen to an amazing array of toe-tapping tunes including blues, jazz and soul!
It’s not easy for mums and dads on Bank Holiday weekends – usually it costs! The good news is – the prices are very reasonable; remember all kids activities are FREE, its local which equals low fuel costs, car parking is FREE and you can bring your own picnic. Make sure you take advantage of the promotion above to really save some cash and be organised.
Where else will you get all that on May Bank Holiday?
