The circus skills station has given people chance to learn some new tricks, other attractions have included puppet antics and a tin can alley at the fairground – along with a chance to kick back in a deck chair with a delicious ice cream.
Kids can grab a Great British Summer activity passport and collect special stamps to complete their summer adventure.
We went photographer Richard Ponter along to capture the fun on camera.
