Event Information

Featuring live and interactive entertainment, a plethora of shopping stalls, a food hall, and mouth-watering artisan treats from local and independent producers, Spring Live! is the must-attend event of the season.

NEW for 2026 is a headline act with RPM Biketrials Display, bringing adrenaline-packed excitement with four performances each day showcasing some of the amazing stunts that can be done with pedal power.

There are plenty of activities for younger visitors to get involved with, including the opportunity to meet a variety of farm animals and reptiles, participate in chocolate* and circus skills workshops, have a go at wand making, bushcraft* and experience the thrill of the funfair*.

What’s more, with the Pygmy Goat Show, Alpaca Show, lawn mower racing, a dog show (Sunday only), the Sheep Show, horticultural competition displays and axe throwing* also on the agenda – it really is a great chance to get the whole family together, including the canine members, spend time outside and celebrate the arrival of spring. And NEW for this year we will have a soon to be announced headline act!

When: Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th April 2026, 9 AM – 5 PM
