A bit about last year's event:-

As usual a very good event, although it rained most of the day the loyal people of Chantry came down wearing wellies, rain macs and still had fun, sheltering under the trees until the sun came out again!  The new attractions went down very well, especially the hov pods rides which were actually improved by the wet weather the rides with Billy and Jack were very popular also.  We would like to thank everyone for making the day a continued success!  And if you were there we hope you had a great time - perhaps you would like to write a message in our guest book.
