Local Family fun… this weekend!

Littledown Family Fun Day is back this Sunday 30 July 2023.🤩

Entertainment this year includes Urban Bike displays, The Lovely Bubbly Show and Liberty's Owl and Raptor Centre's Bird of Prey displays. There’s also gymnastics and street dance performances, arts and crafts, bouncy castles, an orienteering maze, fairground stalls and rides, and free have-a-go virtual reality sessions from Centre VR.

There’s special guest appearances from characters including Bumblebee Transformer, Paddington, Barbie, Rapunzel, Spiderman, Batman, Bingo & Bluey, Sonic and Stitch, along with Frozen 2’s Princess Elsa and Anna.

There are lots of new stalls selling arts & crafts and artisan products too. And if you are feeling in the festival mood there’s face painting and hair wrapping for all ages.

Absolute Music will be there with musical instruments to have a go, and DJ Phil will be spinning groovy summer tunes to keep the crowds entertained. If you are feeling thirsty or peckish, licensed bars and pop-up food stalls will be selling BBQ food, wood-fired pizzas, Thai treats, Hog Roast, Fish & Chips, and Mexican, Greek and Spanish street food – simply delicious!

Moreover, ‘Lookout at Littledown’, the centre’s newest eating and drinking hotspot will be open, featuring live music from We Are Robot! There are games and competitions throughout the day with awesome prizes to be won including a BH Live Active membership, plus family show tickets for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs pantomime, Andy and the Odd Socks, Dragons and Mythical Beasts, Elf: the Musical.

Some activities are free to participate however there are charges for certain activities and attractions. Prices will be displayed by stall holders and activity providers on the day.
