Caravan enthusiasts have been encouraged to book their places at the Camping and Caravanning Club’s annual rally, before next Sunday’s deadline (July 31st).
The National Feast of Lanterns (NFOL) 2011 will take place at Newark Showground from August 25th to 29th, with plenty of free entertainment laid on, including live shows and bands, parlour games and a ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ competition.
Furthermore, kids will be well catered for with a purpose-built seaside playground – ideal for building sandcastles.
Those keen to try a bit of dressing up are also being invited to break a Guinness World Record, as the Friendly Club is hoping to bring together the largest number of people dressed as Robin Hood.
The highlight of the weekend for many, however, is the Best of British Mardi Gras Parade, which includes the spectacular light show that gives the rally its name.
With three and a half years’ planning gone into this event, Cath Henson, chair of the NFOL Organising Committee, is confident that this will be a weekend to remember.
“Our bookings deadline is quickly approaching and with over 2,000 applications already received, we only have a small number of pitches available. Book now before it’s too late,” she urged.
Tickets for the NFOL rally start at £59 per couple for a pitch from Friday to Monday, while visitors can stay an extra night on Thursday for £10 or on Monday for £9.
