Event Highlights:
🎅 MEET SANTA! - Thats right, Santa will be in town! No need to book to meet santa.
🎡FUNFAIR, SWEETS AND TREATS!! - The entire event will be supported by outstanding Angus Pedrick funfairs, whose rides will be open from opening until closing time!! There will be something for everyone here – from smaller rides for our younger guests to the full-on adrenalin-pumping, heart-racing thrills and spills of the much larger rides.
🚐THE XMAS DUBS ARE COMING TO TAUNTON RACECOURSE!! - Check out the crazy crew with their crazy wheels, raising funds for The Grand Appeal (The Bristol Children's Hospital Charity). Please dig deep, deep, deep for this quite brilliant cause!
🌨️ SNOW MACHINES!! – Kids: expect to get showered in “snow” with the snow machines that will be there thanks to Matt Major of Major Entertainments Ltd.
🎵 🎤🎸 ALL NIGHT MUSIC AND SOUNDS!! - Matt will also be providing seasonal sounds throughout the event with his fantastic stage-system. Dance and sing along and bounce about like you really mean it!
📍LASER SHOW!! – This event really is the gift that keeps on giving!! Matt will be lighting up the skies before the firework display, with a 10-minute, seasonal laser show to wow all our guests, young and old! This will start at approximately 6.30pm.
🎆AN UNFORGETTABLE FIREWORK DISPLAY – Stand by for a 12-minute, pyro-musical extravaganza set to a mash-up of all the usual seasonal culprits! This will fire at 7.30pm, after the laser show has finished. For those who feel they do not want to experience the full-force display, there will be plenty of time to retreat to the safety and security of their vehicles (over the road in the car park) after the laser show, or to leave the site altogether.
🍔FOOD AND DRINK - A large selection of superb food and soft drinks will be available, supplied by Angus.
🚫🥂🍷🍺🚫PLEASE NOTE – THIS IS A DRY EVENT. THERE WILL BE NO ALCOHOL FOR SALE AT ANY OF THE OUTLETS, NOR WILL VISITORS ATTEMPTING TO BRING ALCOHOL IN BE GRANTED ACCESS. VISITORS CAN AND MAY BE SUBJECTED TO BAG SEARCHES BY THE ACCESS CONTROL STAFF. ANY ALCOHOL WILL BE CONFISCATED🚫🥂🍷🍺🚫
🎟️ACCESS/PARKING/TICKETING - TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT ARE AVAILABLE, PRE-BOOKED THROUGH THIS PLATFORM. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST, MOST RECOMMENDED (AND CHEAPEST!) OPTION. THE NATURAL DIFFICULTIES FOR PEDESTRIANS (SEE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS BELOW) MEAN THAT WALKING HERE IS NOT THE WISEST COUSE OF ACTION. HOWEVER, THE GATE STAFF WILL BE EQUIPPED TO TAKE PAYMENTS FROM WALK-INS AND HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION VERY CAREFULLY...
With 1,000 car parking spaces available, we absolutely recommend car-sharing where at all possible. There are three car parks in the fields opposite the venue, 75% of which is made up of good, solid hard-standing. There will be marshals on site to guide and direct drivers to a suitable parking spot.
There will be the facility to allow drop-off for taxi/minibus/private car disabled passengers. Whilst we are not in a position to stop guests arriving as pedestrians, we would 100% not recommend this. The lanes approaching the venue are narrow, windy, unlit and do not have pedestrian pavements or safe havens. Again though, for those who live "locally", we totally understand any reluctance to arrive via any other means. PLEASE ensure you have powerful 🔦torches, headtorches 🔆 and/or 🦺Hi-Viz jackets etc. The roads will be very busy with vehicular traffic – see and be seen!
The nearest main road/approach to the venue is from J25 (sign-posted to Weymouth) on the M5, then look for signs to the race course, which will direct drivers down the B3170.
