Children's area
There will be plenty of fun and exciting things to do for all children to enjoy. There will be mini events taking place in which children can achieve their Olympus Stars by taking part in one or more of the activities on offer including: blow football, mini sailing, table football, balance and agility tests, a world flags quiz game and the world puzzle.

There will also be a supervised arts and crafts zone in which children can create their very own Olympic torches, flags, banners, decorate a sporting statue or design their own unique medal.

What's more there will be a races and games area where children will be able to keep their energy levels high. Games on offer will range from a "scavenger hunt" to a mini assault course, balancing, climbing, crawling, jumping and throwing. Children will be encouraged to beat their personal best time or most athletic achievement.

The Nipper Zone will feature Hot Shot Basketball, Tri Master Skill Test, The Water Cans, Large Connect Four, Giant Jenga, the Fun Mirror, Hoopla, The Maze, and The Puzzle. The Zone will be supervised and suitable for children aged four and above, but aimed at Over 8s.

There will be an under 5's area where there will be physical play for the younger children on slides and climbing frames, rockers, pedal cars and trundles. There will also be baby changing, bottle warming facilities, a cosy and suitably equipped area for Under 2's.

If the above isn't enough, there will be face painters who will adorn the faces of children and adults with quick, creative and colourful designs as well as two large inflatables and show times run by entertainers to add to the fun and exhilaration.
