Making a raft | Attractions | Food | Getting there | Shuttle Bus
Make a mini raft and enter it
Either make one at home, bring it and race it down the river. Just £1 (pay on the day)
Or make a raft on the day, and race it. Still only £1
Prizes: First £25, Second £15, Third £10
Just make sure it’s no bigger than a piece of A5 paper (21 x 15cm). Use any materials; balsa, plastic bottles, take-out trays… Make it as personal and distinctive as you like
We’ll retrieve all the rafts and make sure the plastic is recycled, as plastic litter in watercourses adds to the terrible pollution of our seas. PLEASE DON’T THROW PLASTIC IN STREAMS OR RIVERS
