StrEATlife Village
The StrEATlife Village will be alive with top DJs and live acts both nights. Friday’s headliner, The Cuban Brothers, brings a blend of music, comedy, and breakdancing, while Saturday’s headliner Artful Dodger delivers a classic UK garage vibe. With over 35 food vendors offering street food, craft beer, and cocktails, you’ll be fuelled and ready to dance the night away.
Café de Pally
For a quirky and high-energy experience, visit Café de Pally. Friday’s Gospeloke hosts choir-backed karaoke to hits from Beyoncé to Guns N’ Roses, while Saturday night features eclectic live music from Double Bass Dan, The Miss Jones Band, and Iron Boot Scrappers, blending brass, retro hits, and Edwardian rock for a unique twist.
Ice Skating & Funfair
For a touch of winter magic, glide around the indoor ice rink to disco tunes—book early due to limited availability. The lower field also features a family-friendly funfair, with classic rides like Dodgems, Waltzers, and Teacups. The bonfire lighting kicks off each evening at 7:30 pm on Friday and 6:45 pm on Saturday.
