“There truly is something for all the family with the mini-Olympics, fairground games, face painting and paint-a-pony; a range of stalls offering holistic therapies and a variety of goods; demonstrations of natural horsemanship, gundogs, hounds, and birds of prey; a Viking Battle re-enactment; live music from a range of bands; licensed bar, barbecue, cakes and ice cream.
“Even the family dog can join in with the ‘have a go’ dog agility course! Free camping is also available.”
Howard Rose, who appeared in The Voice in 2015 will be performing at the event.
