What are our Outdoor Events?
What kind of festival would we be without some fun in the sun? Our legendary outdoor gaming team have concocted a bunch of magnificent games to keep you on your toes in your houses' fight for first place!
Show off your skills with a water gun as you claim victory over the opposing teams or put the 'heave' into the popular tug-of-war (try not to get wet!) - there's so many things to get involved with over the weekend!
