“There will be free kids events from 1pm. We have camel rides and Fairy La-La will be doing shows from 1pm through until the fireworks, which is a free event for everyone as well.
“The Fairy show is suitable for boys and girls. It was very popular when we had it a few years ago.

“The fireworks will be at 8.30pm.
“We are promoting it as an afternoon, evening show and there will be food there so people don’t have to go home and come back.
The 3:00pm time slot will allow patrons to spend 5 or so hours at the show and see everything, have dinner and watch the fireworks.
“There will be plenty of entertainment for people to enjoy right through.
“We still have all the traditional show stuff like the cattle, sheep, horses, pavilion etc, that will start in the morning, so we can get all the animals home.
