Head to the Paddock (aka the Festival Field) at New Inn for a fun-filled summer. The Paddock will have lots of activities and games; perfect for a bit of friendly competition or relaxed fun. Plus we've teamed up with Pokémon to bring you an extra mega adventure! Bring your own picnic or treat yourself to something tasty from the café!
