A Seaside Carnival is taking over the Foot Safari this half term offering families even more entertainment.

Expect acrobatic skills workshops, pier-themed games stalls, traditional performers, striped deckchairs, and of course, sand.

The adventurous types can immerse themselves in a range of interactive workshops, including plate-spinning, aerial hoop and silks, hula-hooping, and acrobatics.

Giant stilt walkers will be overseeing the goings on, ensuring guests are entertained, while food outlets will be serving up delicious ice creams.

There'll also be seaside favourites including Coconut Shy, Bottle Ring Toss, Beat the Buzzer and Ball in a Bucket between 11am and 4pm.

As well as Carnival Capers, running from May 27 to June 4, there's all the usual fun included in the ticket price too, including the Safari Drive and the Foot Safari, with the chance to see animals including Amur Tiger, giraffe, African lions, white rhino, and Iberian wolves.
