00:00 So my name is Doug Douglas and I own Avon Valley Adventure Park and we're based just

00:05 outside of Bristol and I spend my life trying to think of crazy new things to entertain

00:11 families in the Bristol area.

00:15 And tell us one of these exciting new things that is happening this spring.

00:21 Well we have a candy cannon which is, as you can imagine, it joins up sweets and a cannon

00:30 and we load a cannon full of sweets and fire it over the kids heads and they flutter down

00:34 and the kids go crazy picking them up.

00:36 So that's one of my bizarre crazy ideas.

00:41 And you have some four-legged friends coming to visit.

00:43 Tell me about that.

00:45 Oh yes, May Bank Holiday, so the 4th of May, is going to be an exciting day.

00:53 So we have Bluey and Bingo coming to the park which is going to be epic.

01:00 Not only have we got Bluey and Bingo, we also run a normal day out.

01:03 So you can ride the train, you can drive mini jeeps, you can see Dino Valley, you can do

01:06 all the other amazing things that we do.

01:09 And during the Bluey and Bingo May weekend, we're going to be doing some dog agility courses.

01:15 So if you think your dog is up for a bit of agility, not quite on the crufts level, but

01:21 let's see, then you can come down and use our dog agility course that we're going to

01:24 put in here.

01:25 So it's going to be really cool.

01:26 And tell us a little bit about your other animals.

01:29 Obviously it's spring, so you've had the birth of some lambs.

01:34 Tell us about that.

01:35 Yeah, so we always do sort of a lambing live event and what we try and do, it takes quite

01:43 a bit of work, is we try and time our ewes to give birth at a particular time, which

01:51 is the school holidays.

01:52 So hopefully we then have a lamb giving birth every day.

01:56 And that worked pretty well for the first week.

01:59 The weather got dreadful and all the lambs just went, get these lambs out of me.

02:05 So they gave birth pretty quickly when it got cold.

02:09 So we've now got a barn full of baby lambs jumping around.

02:13 At the Blue Inbinger weekend, they're going to be out in one of our paddocks because we're

02:16 going to be letting them out.

02:17 And that's really cool to watch lambs getting out into the field, running around.

02:21 We're in a very weird time.

02:23 We're kind of coming out of COVID, but we're very much in the cost of living crisis.

02:28 What will a day out to Avon Valley bring to people in Bristol?

02:33 You can come and just, that is your day.

02:36 So we're really conscious that the cost of living is hitting people and we're trying

02:40 to do everything we can to keep ourselves as flexible as possible.

02:43 The live dinosaurs roaming around the site.

02:45 We basically turned the whole park into this huge, epic Jurassic dino park.

02:51 That's May.

02:52 And then the summer we go crazy with, we've got a massive water slide coming in to the

02:57 end of the park.

02:58 Again, we just go a bit Avon Valley crazy.
