Orton Bradley Park Spring Fair
A fantastic day out for the whole family! Food, coffee, wine, arts & crafts, history, plants, rhododendron walks, machinery demonstrations and bouncy castles.
The park is looking at its best with the rhododendrons in full flower, shop for Christmas gifts, picnic in the playground, and walking and biking tracks provide so much to see and do.
Music throughout the day, old machinery demonstrations and the opportunity to explore the Heritage Centre and see the animals. Great food and drink available. Something for everyone.
