What’s Waiting for You? We’ve packed Thornes Park with everything you need for an unforgettable afternoon. From spiritual melodies to adrenaline-pumping fun, there is something for everyone:

• Meet Your Local Heroes: We are excited to welcome our Emergency Services! Our local Police, Fire Engine, and Ambulance teams will be attending with their vehicles to interact with young people. It’s a fantastic chance for the kids to learn through fun, hands-on activities and get to know the heroes who keep our community safe.
• A Feast for the Senses: Dig into a delicious BBQ, cool off with Mr. Immy’s Ice-cream, and treat yourself to a variety of decadent desserts.
• Fun & Games: From classic attractions and rides to a daring Bungee Jump, we’re bringing the excitement of the fair to your doorstep!
• Culture & Community: Browse our vibrant shopping stalls, get beautiful Mehndi designs, and connect with local organisations at our community stalls.
