Back by popular demand is the Kids Cooking Marquee which is free to the children where they learn to prepare and cook with the professional chefs. The places are limited so you are advised to book in on line to ensure a place.

This year the ticket office will be open at the Park from 1.00 pm on Thursday and Friday 10 am to pre purchase your wristbands to avoid the queues and everyone who pre purchases their wrist band will be given a little surprise gift.
