We’re really excited that this year we’ll have a magical carousel as a centre piece to the festival, along with other fun family rides – including last year’s popular Frozen rollercoaster - around the site, including within our coach car park.

“Our entertainment lineup is our best to date too. We’ll some amazing local performers coming along to entertain the crowds all weekend, Cassi from Radio Clyde will be making an appearance on Saturday, and Frozen characters will be on stage as well as meeting and greeting the crowds on both days.”
