Weald and ellenor. Alongside the racetrack, Crazy Jean’s also features a food village, Local & Live acoustic music stage and children’s entertainment, including a fire engine, crafts, story- telling and inflatables.

New cube on the block
The kids’ tech toy market is expected to be worth $11.3 billion by 2020, and while drones, bots, and kid-friendly smartphones are soaring to the top of children’s 2018 wish lists, it would appear traditional games, which provide essential building blocks for lateral thinking, problem solving and sequencing, are dying out. 30 Cubed from The Happy Puzzle Company (
www.happypuzzle.co.uk, RRP £19.99, suitable for age 6+) offers coloured cube challenges, which are a fun way to improve mathematics, thinking, logical reasoning, spatial awareness, sequencing, and visual perception skills, guaranteeing to pull even the most tech-obsessed away from their screen to crack the game more addictive than any app.
Down with the kids!
