Festival of Wheels

Activities for kids include acrobatics from the stars of Happy’s Big Top Circus, as well face painting, an inflatable climbing course and gentle jaunts around the go-kart circuit. If the kids show signs of flagging, just hop on the free mini-train that circles the site and move on to their next activity, or give them a break from all the excitement and treat them to ice cream in the Shopping Village. As well as extreme stunt shows, simulator rides and American truck displays, you can spend the day happily wandering from wrestling matches to daredevil goes on the Wall of Death or admiring the cool all-American vintage cars on display. There’s plenty to keep you all happy in the evening too, with the choice of an alfresco cinema, neon-light funfair rides and a whole host of live concerts. Just bear in mind that some of the night-time entertainment is not wholly suitable for young ears, especially the Comedy Club Motormouth sessions.
