Puppet shows, face painting and balloon artists will also be on hand to ensure the young ones are kept entertained during their time at the Play Zone.

CRUEL SUMMER: Film Screening
If this summer heat is too much for you, how about an evening of short film screenings with the fam? You might think ice cream and summer beverages are the best bit but wait, it is actually the films that will give you the chills. The selected short films look at the dark side of summer, from loss to loneliness, heartbreak to horror – something different from the tropical vibe!
