Safety measures were put in place to protect the ground at South Park, including the use of the temporary roadway both under the funfair and for vehicle access. 

There were food villages and bars selling a wide variety from local producers.

Hebborn’s provided funfair rides for all the family to enjoy.

The Super Family Tent, with food and drink options overlooking the fireworks display, also operated.
