And, while we’re ‘food-tastic’ this festival, we haven’t forgotten families with children’s characters Rapunzel and Ariel visiting us on Sunday while all weekend we’ll have children’s rides, stilt walkers and fun mascots added to our playpark, SEA LIFE centre, Treezone, Bird of Prey Centre and water sports, boat trips and boat hire so everyone can have a great day out – whether they’re 5 or 95!
Audrey Calder from Loch Lomond Shores comments: “Springfest is shaping up to be a great weekend with lots to see and do.
“We’re delighted to welcome Loch Lomond Whiskies back and our chef’s menus for their demos looking inspiring as well as mouth-watering!
“The introduction of foraging workshops is also great to see as it not only showcases our natural resources here at Loch Lomond Shores, it also offers a taste of foraging for those foodies who would like to use the ultimate local ingredients in their cooking.”
