Get wet and go wild in Battersea Park

Battersea Park will become London’s first family-friendly aqua obstacle course on Sunday 7 August when Splash Fest opens.

Organised by lifesaving charity, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Splash Fest will feature five zones of water-themed challenges and games over a 2.5km trail plus an event village.

Activities for families and children aged between 7 and 12 include: 

• Bubbly Brook featuring giant bubbles, zorbs, a maze and live music from a bandstand marooned in a sea of foam; 
• Slip-Slide Stream featuring toboggan-style water slides, swinging inflatables, water spouts and monkey bars to navigate in Wild Wild Waters; 
• Splash ’n’ Shoot target challenge; and  
• Crazy Canyon offering participants a lily pad challenge and giant inflatable water slide.  

The Splash Out Zone will be the place to go for live music, entertainment, food and drink, and a drying-off area. 

Lauren Pincott, from event organisers the RNLI, says: “Not only will families have fun, they’ll be helping to save lives as the RNLI will use all profits to help fund its
life-saving work.”
