What kind of capers? It is carnival time again with Europe‘s largest indoor fun fair so get ready to be spun around. tipped upside down and thrown all around.

On what? There will be loads of rides including all the traditional ones like the waltzers. dodgems. ghost ride and the big wheel.

Is that all? The fun doesn't stop there because you can also try out the knee trembling. stomach turning Drop Zone. Booster and Bungee Catapult.

I’ll bet it’s really expensive? Like last year they are running a wristband scheme so you just have to buy the relevant band and you can go on the rides all day.

or until you‘re sick.
