Having a whale of a time! This looks incredibly cool - one of our nearest and best-loved beaches….

Let's talk about... THE WHALE
A huge whale is landing at Sideshore next weekend!
Can you guess what's inside?
It's a teeny tiny theatre!
That's right, you crawl inside and there's a fabulous show about turtles and other sea creatures. And it's FREE to watch.

Bring your small people for a totally magical experience (ages 3+)
Spaces are limited to 30-40 people per show (depending on adult/ child ratio) so arrive early to get your spot!
Shows are Saturday and Sunday at 11, 11.30, 1, 1.30, 3 and 3.30

Thanks to Sideshore Community for supporting the festival and hosting this magnificent beast!

A great day out near us. We took the kids to Pennywell Farm and had so much fun meeting animals from piglets to, well, mice.. Check out Granny’s reaction to the “mouse on head” trick. NB this was taken seconds before we were told, rightly, NOT to put rodents on the children’s heads…. pennywellfarm
