Raft Race & Fun Day at Nant Mill
Sunday 13th August 2017 at Nant Mill Country Park
11am-4:00pm
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
