The Newmarket Flyer August ’24 Update
Newmarket Town Council Events Update
Summer Entertainment Extravaganza
Our summer entertainment afternoons are in full swing, and it’s been fantastic to see so many families enjoying the sunshine in the Memorial Gardens and The Severals.
The younger children delighted in rides, magical performances by the amazing Wayne Goodman, and engaging art workshops. They had the chance to get up close with farm animals, thanks to Ark Farm, or relax with some colouring activities from Working with Well-being.
Older children found excitement at The Severals with a mobile climbing wall and the thrilling Total Wipe Out challenge. They also enjoyed mini golf and the daring Rocket Drop slide.
Our summer entertainment continues with even more fun!
Look forward to Suffolk Prickles’ hedgehog mini golf, Alice in Wonderland shows, quirky gnome characters, and a giant assault course.
Mark your calendars for the next fun-filled days:
• Thursday 8th August – Memorial Gardens – 1pm-4pm
• Thursday 15th August – The Severals – 1pm-4pm
• Thursday 22nd August – Memorial Gardens – 1pm-4pm
