This day I love.......

Chatsworth Country Fair was back this year and we could not wait to attend.  Last year we had a fantastic day out and this year promised to be just as good.

The layout was the same as the previous year and the girls remembered the second we drove into the car park and began to get very excited.  There first request was to tackle the assault course from the previous year.



Stronger and older than before they tackled the course in super speed 


Chatsworth Country fair has a wide variety of food stalls selling food.  The girls sampled cheese, meats, olives and pickles.  They chose a deer pie for dinner and spent most of their money on homemade fudge.  With the last of their pennies in their pocket they headed to the fairground.  My youngest now brave enough to attempt the Helter Skelter.  


She absolutely loved it!

I do have to say a big thank you to the NCT who had a caravan available with space to change nappies, feed babies and generally unwind.  Without them Little Man would have been subjected to a muddy field or the floor of a portaloo!  They were incredibly helpful and even let the girls have a rest and a play, oh and a biscuit or two!


We watched cookery demonstrations, marvelled at the amazing crafts on sale and my youngest was mesmerised by all the different dog breeds walking past.  We watched a bird of prey show were the birds flew off into the trees, dogs doing agility and dancing.  Our favourite by far was watching the Red Arrows!


Chatsworth Country fair was on over 3 days and if you wanted to visit everything you would need all three days.  It is a great day out for the family and clearly something for everyone.  I wonder if the girls will be able to do the assault course even faster next year?

We were given press passes to attend, all words are my own opinion

When we were invited to Chatsworth country fair I think we underestimated just how big it was going to be.  We had been to Country fairs in the past but nothing on this scale.  I was excited at the prospect of meeting Mary Berry who was attending the show, and the girls were just as excited as seeing Katy Ashworth from 'I can cook'.

The girls spotted the helter skelter and big wheel from the car park and so after lunch we headed straight over to them.  The girls loved all the traditional fun fair rides, chair swings, helter skelter and the carousels.



After the fair ground we decided to take a walk amongst the stores and see the items on sale.  There was everything from flat caps, to plants, wooden heaters and some amazing wooden houses.  The girls even picked out a kennel for each of our dogs.


There were hundreds of trade stands, craft stalls and food stalls to look at.  The festival of food had a huge variety of foods to try, the girls got their first taste of Um bongo and their eyes lit up when they saw the fudge and cake stalls.

After sampling some delicious food we decided to watch some of the shows and displays on offer.  There was something for everyone Daredevil horseback riding, Dog shows, Parachute display teams and my favourite the aeroplane aerobatic team.  The girls however wanted to watch the highland dancing.


Our action packed filled day did not end there though.  We watched the ladies spinning on the spinning wheel, spoke to the lovely people at the stick makers guild, listened to the clay pigeon shooting and watched the dogs swim in the river.  The girls even got to try an obstacle course and my youngest was so incredibly proud of herself for completing it.


We returned home after an amazing action packed day, and tucked into some heavenly home made cake!


Oh and in case you are wondering yes I did get to see Mary Berry although it is probably one of the worst photos I have ever taken


An amazing day at Chatsworth Country fair and we shall be returning next year

This day I love Chatsworth Country Fair

This Sunday evening my girls dropped my phone and broke it.  Which means I am currently unable to take photos.  Apologies therefore for the lack of Instagram updates and blog updates.  

Sunday saw me complete the Leeds 10K and I was unable to record my times or take photos without my phone, but I have to say it is one of the prettiest medals I own and cannot wait to add to my Instagram feed.

The last photos I took were on Saturday at a local fun day.  The girls had a lot of fun on all the rides but their favourite was the trampoline bungee.  We queued for quite some time but that did not put the girls off.  They loved bouncing as high as they could and reaching to the sky as they did.

Watching the girls with huge smiles on their faces was the highlight of the weekend for me.  I cannot wait for my phone to come back so I can take some more photos

This day I love bouncing high
