Applications for stalls at next year’s Thorpdale Potato Festival are now open.
The 2019 festival will be held on Sunday, March 10. Interest in stalls is already flooding in. Something new to next year’s festival is that all entertainment will be free of charge. This means that not only the three jumping castles and giant slide will be free, but the bucking bull and the new merry go round are also on the free list (age and height lists apply).
The helicopter also will return so if you have wanted to see Thorpdale while you hover in the air, this is your chance.
The woodchoppers also will return as well as a whip cracker, patting pets will keep the youngsters happy and TC Trickz are returning with a few more amazing shows.
Even more excitement is on track with the CFA showing how they help save lives on our roads and those magnificent Hessians-on-theField creations will be stunning audiences again.
