Reaseheath College to stage annual Family Festival in Nantwich

Away to Me - Reaseheath Family Festival 1

A day of discovery and entertainment takes place at Reaseheath College’s annual Family Festival on its Nantwich campus next month.

The popular event highlights the college’s diverse offerings and celebrating the local community and takes place on Sunday May 12.

Visitors can explore the college campus and take part in a variety of activities, including hands-on workshops where they can try bricklaying, tree climbing, stock judging, flower arranging, and much more.

A host of entertainment has been lined up for this year’s festival with the return of the 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 8ft Yarndale sheep with minds of their own.

There will be a range of entertaining displays hosted by Reaseheath Equestrian Centre – including Freddie Steel and the Spectacle of Equitation – as well as breath-taking stunt work of the BMX Show riders.

There will also be a Farmers’ Market with Street Food stands, and Reaseheath Zoo will also be open home to around 200 species.
