This year, we set sail with our Friday night costume theme All Aboard the Love Boat, our camp Buoys Ahoy show with Allan Jay, and a party from Freemasons with Russell Small.
Throughout the weekend, the Skyline Pavilion will host line-dancing classes with the returning Rodeo Queens, as well as our festival market where you can browse Don't Tell Mama merchandise and plenty of other goodies.
You’ll also find plenty of places to refuel, with Burger King, Costa Coffee, Subway and Chopstix all located within the pavilion, perfect for grabbing breakfast, lunch, dinner or a late-night bite between events.
