**WILDLIFE ZONE**
2019 will also see the introduction of a brand new ‘Wildlife Zone’ to the event. The Wildlife Zone will be centred around the Rix Pavilion Event Centre with both inside and outside activities and stands planned to create an educational and fun area for children and families to get involved with some free interactive and ‘hands on’ opportunities, including making bird feeders and bug hotels!
This area will also include birds of prey, a hands-on experience with mini beasts, giant tortoises and alpacas and to further compliment this zone we are also working closely with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, the RSPB, the East Yorkshire Bat Group and the National Trust to lay on further interactive, educational activities for children and families to take part in across the Weekend.
If that all of this sounds like too much excitement, then why not take a look at over 100 Stalls or grab something to eat from one of the onsite caterers and pull up a chair for a well-deserved rest.
We might not be able to guarantee the weather, but we can guarantee a fun filled, action packed great value family fun weekend that the whole family will be talking about for months to come, including the dog!
