Fireman Sam To Visit Historic Dockyard Chatham

10th March 2010

Fireman Sam to make special appearances at Medway Festival of Steam & Transport 2010 this Easter

Families with small children won’t want to miss the chance to see Fireman Sam and Naughty Norman on Monday 5th April. They’ll be making ‘meet and greet’ appearances and starring in the Fireman Sam Show at various intervals throughout the day.

This annual event takes place at The Historic Dockyard Chatham on Easter Sunday and Monday, 4th & 5th April 2010 and has become a great family favourite day out at Easter.

Other family entertainment includes a ModelZONE with model ships, trains, planes and remote-controlled cars; Drayhorse Shire wagon rides (at an extra cost); the Newfoundland Dog Team and the ‘Many Hoots Animal Sanctuary’ providing the opportunity to watch and get close to birds of prey and other animals. Victorian themed twins Felix and Felix will keep the crowds entertained with their Penny-Farthing stunt-riding, robotic body popping and close-up magic. This should be enough to keep children of all ages amused for hours whilst enjoying a great Easter day out.

With over 500 vehicles booked on each of the two days there’ll also be plenty to keep parents happy too at this premier transport event. Kit cars, classic, pre and post war cars, military vehicles, agricultural, commercial and emergency service vehicles, buses, motorcycles, steam traction engines and the Dockyard’s very own steam and diesel locomotives.

Wheelwrights’ Restaurant will be offering traditional fare including homemade cakes and treats as well as the special dockyard fish ’n’ chips. Picnic areas and mobile catering units are also available.
