Lightwater Valley Halloween

 Hi Everyone, 

 Lightwater Valley is all set for some spooky half term fun from Saturday, 24th – Saturday, 31st October.

"Younger visitors will love taking a trip down Trick or Treat Street for the chance to get some sweet treats and practicing their aim on the Ghoul Shoot target practice.

Venture into the Abandoned Theatre and walk through spooky scenes with animatronics and projections of wicked witches and friendly ghosts.  

Whilst enjoying thrills and chills on the family fun rides be sure to keep an eye out for the 13 hidden ghosts lurking around the park and meet and greet some creepy characters.

Lightwater Valley is encouraging children to come in Halloween fancy dress, it’s more fun if you do and they are offering daily prizes for the best dressed. 

Families can take a trip to the freaky fairground and jump aboard 30 rides and attractions designed for younger visitors to enjoy fun frights and thrills.  

Hop aboard the Ladybird rollercoaster, take a trip on the Lightwater Valley Express or make a splash on the Wet ‘n’ Wild River Rapids."

Rainton Festival

 Hi Everyone,

We had a very fun time last night at the first night of the outdoor Rainton Festival. Held at The Rainton Arena (Sunderland). 

The festival which is free to enter consists of a good sized funfair which has rides for all ages and a good few to keep the adrenaline junkies among us happy. Prices start from £1.50 with the most expensive being £5 for the bungie trampolines.

There are also game booths such as hook a duck, ring toss and basket ball to name a few. There's also refreshment stands throughout. We would advise bringing cash although some rides did accept card payments.

The second part of the festival is a main stage which will host different acts throughout the weekends in August. In order to gain access to this area you can book tickets for a table which seats upto 6 people. Once inside you have your own area and you are able to order food and drinks from your phone to be delivered direct to you. The service was very fast. The tables are under a circus style tent with the sides off so perfect if it rains. The first nights entertainment was Dick and Dom who put on a very family friendly show that kids and adults both enjoyed. We also really enjoyed the warm up act who was very entertaining. 

The organisers have gone to a lot of effort to ensure the publics safety regarding the  Covid-19 guidelines. Areas are very clearly marked to allow a two metre social distance, hand sanitisers are on every ride and on entry and exit to the main stage, there was alot of security and staff members dotted around to ensure everything was in order and the toilets were cleaned after each visit so were spotless. Even the free onsite carpark was organised amazingly well to avoid any social distancing problems.

We had a fantastic night out with the kids.
