The Big Show

Every afternoon, the whole scheme funnels into the Big Show marquee for the day's entertainment — from around 1pm until home time, it is the beating heart of the site.

A different show every day

The line-up changes through the week, but a typical scheme week looks like this:

  • Monday — the magic show
  • Tuesday — the foam party
  • Thursday — the tea party
  • Friday — the end-of-scheme party, when the whole fortnight comes together

Everyone in one tent

The Big Show is one of the few moments when Infants, Major League and Teenz are all in the same place at the same time — 800 children a week, singing the same songs their parents sang when it was their turn.

The Big Show is one part of a full programme, all included in the weekly fee.
