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
