Remember, remember ...
We are delighted to welcome back our bonfire and fireworks this year in the garden - celebrating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing with ‘an extraordinary voyage into space,’ including two spectacular firework displays, including an early display for little ones.
Our blazing bonfire – lit at the earlier time of 6:30pm - will set the mood for an exhilarating evening of entertainment for visitors of all ages.
Wrap up warm and join us for a range of family fun entertainment plus a selection of delicious food from hog roasts and jacket potatoes to churros and sweet treats. Treat yourself with a glass of mulled wine or cider - the ultimate winter warmers.
