The show itself was fantastic.It had a genuine festival feel and everyone was chilled and relaxed. There was live music all day and a huge array of stalls with all kinds of fantastic, quality foods. It would have been impossible to go home without a bag of treasure, especially as so many of the producers and vendors were giving out tempting samples.

It was nice and busy, but definitely not overly full, so we could relax about not losing any of our 6 children we had with us. The weather was warm enough for t-shirts, but not warm enough to burn, so absolutely perfect for my pasty family.

| We even got to play in the Children's Theatre, with soup and roll making and a few science experiments too! |
Because feeding my lot costs a fortune I took a pack up for teatime, but I think I did us proud - they all seemed delighted once they'd filled their chosen cobs (I'm from Derby, that's what we say) with salad and cheeses and.....erm.....crisps....
There really was something for everyone, and including playing on the park after leaving the festival, we stayed all day until gone 5.30pm. We all had a really great day.

ReplyDeleteYou should try Anna, it's a really good day out.
DeleteI'd definitely recommend it, all the kids had a great time :)
DeleteWe had a great day too, my only regret was we didn't get the chance to spend a bit more time with you all! It was a fab day though, we're still eating and drinking some of our purchases.
ReplyDeleteAnd us! I can't believe we didn't bump into you at all.. :D
DeleteWe had a fab day last year, I'm a bit sad that we can't go again. Hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for linking up to #WHWH
DeleteCheers hon - you're welcome, and thank you for hosting! I'll miss you this time :)
Delete'I Love Sausage' - ooh missus! What a shame your curry was a let-down. All the rest of it sounds delicious. A day thinking about and basking in food, heaven!
ReplyDeleteI had to get a picture of that one!
DeleteIt was an excellent thing to do, plus we walked round all day for about 5 hours, so I probably actually LOST weight! Bonus :D
Wow looks like a fab day out.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are making me hungry x
Crikey - not at this hour! You'd never sleep :D
