Billy Bates & Sons Fun Fair

⚽🏆 Looks like Harry and Jude couldn’t wait for kick-off… they’re warming up on the dodgems! 😂🇬🇧

We’re getting behind England as they take on Argentina in the World Cup Semi-Final tomorrow and we want you to join us! 🎡

👕 Wear your England shirt and you’ll get FREE admission to the fair tomorrow! 🇬🇧

Tomorrow is also our first SEND Friendly Session of the summer.

💙 From 1pm–8pm, there’ll be:
🔇 No loud music
🎤 No microphone announcements
😊 A calmer, more relaxed and inclusive atmosphere where everyone is welcome to enjoy the fair at their own pace.

⏰ Please note: We will be closing at 7:30pm (30 minutes earlier than advertised) so our team can head home and cheer on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Come along, enjoy the fair and show your support!

Come on England! 🦁🦁🦁⚽🇬🇧

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR TODAY 🚨

Due to the extreme heat and the extra time needed for the team to safely prepare the fair, we’re running a little behind schedule.

Today’s opening has been delayed by two hours and we’ll now be welcoming everyone from 3pm.

This change is for today only – from tomorrow onwards we’ll be open as advertised 1pm–8pm daily.

Thank you for your understanding and we can’t wait to welcome you to Abbey Park this afternoon! 💚🎠
