Expectations high for Beale Park show

BOAT SHOW: Set on a seven acre lake and showing everything from coracles to motor boats and taking in sail, steam, electric, solar and pedal power on the way, the Beale Park Boat Show is designed to encourage people to take to the water with free river trips, canoeing, "try a boat" and even a family cruising holiday prize.

Organisers expect visitor numbers to be up again this year. Following last year's very successful show, which saw a 20% increase in visitor numbers and the introduction of various new features, there were already more than 60 confirmed exhibitor bookings by mid-April, which quite an achievement since most slots are taken heading into May.

On land this year the line up includes arts and crafts, food and cookery, live music, dancing, climbing wall, children’s activities and Newfoundland dogs, not to mention the classic car display which will include "The Dukes of Hazzard" car from Warner Brothers.

And if all this gets you a bit dry, there is always the beer tent. The show takes place 6-8 June at Beale Park, on the River Thames, Berkshire. You can book tickets for the show online until 23 May or look for exhibitor listings on www.bealepark.co.uk
