The children’s festival has several new attractions, which include: Giant 110ft Obstacle Course where both children and grown ups can compete, ‘The Farmyard’ a new Role Play Area where kids can run their own farm Family Shows and Arena Activities – A full schedule of entertainment throughout the day, and Funtopia is AllInclusive!

The 2023 Summer Tour runs from April to August and is visiting Stockport Funtopia on Sunday, June 18 and Sunday, August 27.
The 2023 Tour consists of more than 60 dates between April to August.
Funtopia is open daily 11.30am-5.30pm.
After trialling Funtopia’s new Autism Friendly Sessions last year, they received a positively overwhelming response.
The 2023 Tour shall now feature an Autism Friendly Session at the start of every Funtopia. The Autism Friendly Sessions take place 10.30am-11.30am daily.
Organisers have decided to keep the 2022 ticket prices for this summer.
Sarah Green, Funtopia director, said: “Providing families with a very reasonably priced day out has always been one of our top priorities.
“This year we believe that it is even more important to offer all families the opportunity to enjoy a day out together.”
Sam Harrison, event manager, said: “We’re pleased to be offering our popular Autism Friendly Sessions at every Funtopia this year.
“These sessions are specifically designed to allow children with autism the opportunity to visit Funtopia in a more relaxed and suitable setting.
“We’ve found that these children can often be forgotten and don’t always get the opportunity to visit events.
“We hope that they will be popular with the local community.”
Delicious snacks and meals are on offer throughout the day at the food outlets.
Visitors are also welcome to bring their own food and picnics if they prefer.
Children under 90cm go free, entry for children over 90cm costs £10. Adult tickets are £2.50 Tickets for children under 90cm go free for the autism friendly session, while children over 90cm cost £5, and adults enter free.
