This year’s spectacle will have more immersive installations to experience, including a new air balloon ride which sees festival-goers float 20 metres into the sky for an epic view of the park.

There will also be a roller coaster, ferris wheel, carousel, tea cups, minigolf and more for the kids to enjoy.
