If it’s dry you will find me in the outdoor marquee near the outdoor bar and pizza area. Should the weather outlook be the risk of rain do not worry I will be indoors on the mezzanine. So get those new school shoes ready, even change into school uniform and save their important first day or returning back to school with a smashing photo!

I had the best day yesterday balloon twisting at Sounds In The Grounds Arrow Valley Visitor Centre and Lake. The music was phenomenal and I met lots of wonderful customers, vendors and staff. It was such a very hot and busy day that even my balloon dog name badge was flagging by the end of it! If you didn’t manage to make it this year make sure it’s in your diary next year - free entry to amazing bands, fabulous food, outdoor bar plus lots to keep the children entertained - what’s not to love?! 🎈
