Bigger and better with lots for the family to do throughout the afternoon.

Watch the races, ride the donkeys and cheer on the winners.

Stalls from local vendors, games and activities from our Scouts, food to keep you fuelled.

Activities to try like climbing wall, tomahawk throwing, archery, bouncy castles.

The Donkey Derby is a fun-filled afternoon for everyone with plenty to do.

Fancy a mini-adventure? We’ve got climbing walls for those with a head for heights or tomahawk throwing for those who fancy themselves an ace axe thrower. If you’re the right age you could ride the stars of our show both round the courses and at a more tame pace.

Browse a range of stalls and games from both our Scouts and others from our community to suit all tastes and budgets. Enjoy the craft tent to try your hand at different activities or why not let the kids run off some steam in the bounce zone.

Plus there’s our free donkey hunt and colouring competition to get involved with.
