Fun for all ages at Reaseheath College’s annual Family Festival

A day of discovery and entertainment takes place at Reaseheath College’s annual Family Festival this May.

This popular family-friendly event promises to be a fun-filled day for all ages, highlighting the Nantwich-based college’s diverse offerings and celebrating the local community.

On Sunday, May 12^th visitors can explore the beautiful college campus and take part in a wide variety of activities, including hands-on workshops where they can try bricklaying, tree climbing, stock judging, flower arranging, and much more.

A whole host of lively entertainment has been lined up for this year’s festival with the return of the ever-popular Magical Musical Bike and the Bwyellwyr Clwyd Axemen. 

New for 2024 is a puppet show walkabout with Rex the over-controlling bicycle sheep dog who attempts to round up the wayward Barbara and Bernard, two eight-foot Yarndale sheep with minds of their own.

Those of a daring disposition can enjoy a range of entertaining displays hosted by Reaseheath Equestrian Centre – including Freddy Steel and the Spectacle of Equitation – or gear themselves up for the breathtaking stunt work of the BMX Show riders. 

There will also be a chance to browse the Farmers’ Market, indulge in the delicious delicacies on the Street Food stands, and enjoy a visit to Reaseheath Zoo, which is home to around 200 species.

Family Festival organiser Stephanie Owen said:
