Clumber Park Welcomes<br />
Brand New Family Festival<br />
Nottinghamshire is set to be the home of a brand new family music<br />
festival bringing music, art and entertainment to your doorstep.<br />
Clumber Park is preparing itself to host the Gloworm Festival at its<br />
National Trust beauty spot.<br />
The Gloworm festival is aimed at families with children of all ages.<br />
It’s a festival that will inspire the imaginations of its attendees, both<br />
young and old, and invite them to come and play in a warm, friendly<br />
and creative environment. Over the two days there will be plenty of<br />
special moments for the little ones, including appearances by none<br />
other than Peppa Pig, Ben and Holly, Mr Bloom, Thomas the Tank<br />
Engine and more!<br />
What makes this festival that little bit more wonderful is that once<br />
you have a ticket there are no hidden costs, the rides are free, the<br />
workshops are free, and the activities are all free once you are in. So<br />
if your children want to go on the bouncy slide three hundred and<br />
eleven times they can, and it won’t cost you a penny extra.<br />

A Festival of Fireworks!<br />
The Festival of Fireworks was inaugurated in 1999 at Shugborough<br />
Hall – featuring five British companies who were given the opportunity<br />
to demonstrate their work alongside each other. The event, the first<br />
of its kind in the UK, proved to be a success, with each participant<br />
making a great effort to show off their pyrotechnic design skills.<br />
Seventeen years on, the Festival of Fireworks is now well-established<br />
as one of the premier events in the annual fireworks calendar,<br />
attracting thousands of spectators to its new home in the elegant<br />
grounds of Catton Hall in South Derbyshire.<br />
In recent years, the Festival has acquired something of an international<br />
flavour – with firework display teams from europe and the far-east<br />
making an appearance. The 20<strong>16</strong> event will feature Hamex Piroteknia<br />
from Slovenia, Alchemy Fireworks from Luton, Chichester-based<br />
Selstar and festival organisers Jubilee Fireworks, whose outstanding<br />
displays are seen at many major UK venues, including Alton Towers.<br />
The Festival of Fireworks offers the opportunity to experience for<br />
yourself spectacular and stunning examples of the art of pyrotechnics<br />
from some of the world’s best display companies. Ideal for a family<br />
outing, why not bring a picnic and enjoy this breathtaking show? The<br />
date for 20<strong>16</strong> is Saturday September 3rd and its worth reserving<br />
tickets well in advance. ‘Early Bird’ discounted ticket prices apply<br />
before the end of June.<br />
