The Red Arrows display team is to make an appearance at this year’s Harleston & Waveney Festival’s family fun day.

Organisers have now confirmed that the Red Arrows will fly over the Recreation Ground during the fun day, which takes place on August Bank Holiday Monday, 30th August 2010 from 11am until 5pm.

This is in addition to the fly-past by the Battle of Britain Memorial flight and an RAF Sea King helicopter.

Festival Chair, Margaret Griffiths, said, “This is a great coup for the Festival. We’re really delighted that the Red Arrows will be calling in. This, along with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and Sea King Helicopter, is going to make the fun day very special indeed.”

The Fun Day is a free event and will include vintage cars, tractors and military vehicles. Events in the arena will include dancing, wacky races and kick boxing demonstrations.

There will also be stalls, a barbecue, bar, car boot sale, petanque and bouncy castles.
