BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH I LOVE THE 80'S!
Escape the hustle and bustle of the present day and go “Back to the Future” with I LOVE THE 80'S.
Sit Back, Relax and take a day in June and switch off!
Remember growing up in the 80's when Pacman, the A Team and roller skates were cool! The 1980s brought us awesome pop music, great teen movies, and some of the weirdest fashion trends ever to grace the shelves. Big hair, leg warmers and nappy pants on the girls were in the shade compared to the Fluorescent shirts, Miami Vice jackets, acid washed jeans and all-stars sneakers on the guys.
To set the mood there will be screenings of classic 80's movies on the big screen through out the day. There’ll be plenty of 80s fun and novelty treats to amuse big and small kids alike including original 80's Arcade games, Pool Hall with Juke Box and Beer Pong!
This fun filled flashback welcomes all of the family, especially Dad. The backing track for the day will be packed full of eighties hits from The Cure, Prince, The Police, Duran Duran, Madonna, AHA, Billy Idol, Tiffany, The Go Go’s, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, The Clash, Jesus and the Mary Chain and many more!
Between movies why not try your hand at the Pacman challenge? Play Pacman on the big screen and the winner of the challenge will take away a special prize! Bring a picnic and a picnic blanket or buy some food from the market and settle in for the day. Have a go on some of the games that will bring you back to your childhood! Games like It’s a knock out, the Mario brothers, Donkey Kong and many more will bring back colorful memories.
The event will consist of a themed Picnic, with activities for you and the kids, a Food Market, a big Screen and a Bar. Just bring yourself and a picnic basket, or purchase from our vendors and sit back, relax and enjoy a day in the Park!
