The annual Family Fun Day at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre is back this year on Saturday, June 16 from 12 noon to 4pm. The Centre plans to celebrate all things British Summer time in Craven Arms. With something for all the family from face painting to a licensed bar and a delicious barbecue, this is the perfect day out.
Paying homage to the traditional Craven Arms carnival is the Centre’s Wheelbarrow Parade! The theme for the barrows is a scene made from recycled plastic so get creative for a chance to win the special Discovery Centre hamper prize. All barrows must be entered by 1pm in time for judging.
Entry to the event is free with attractions priced individually including a bouncy castle, face painting, meadow trails and much more. Alongside the bouncy castle will be an infants' soft play area will be the Gladiator Duel Ring where visitors can challenge family and friends to decide the ultimate gladiator!
Now a hotspot for dragonflies and butterflies, Butterfly Conservation and the British Dragonfly society will be on hand all day to discuss the fascinating insects. Local Willow Weavers will also be running activities to weave the willow from the Onny Meadows in to butterflies and dragonflies.
The Centre’s award winning café team will be putting on a BBQ & Bar for the event.
