Bideford Fair

Don't miss out
Join us at the Victoria Park paddling pool between 2.30 and 4.30pm to watch children from local schools to sail the Cardboard Boats they have made and decorated as part of the SS Freshspring Young Shipwrights Project.

An exciting project, supported by Navantia UK, with help from parents alongside school staff and volunteers from SS Freshspring and Navantia designed to inspire young people to think about future careers in shipbuilding and to introduce them to the maritime world. 

Vintage Steam Rides
In Victoria Park, you’ll find John and our vintage steam engine providing rides for children and adults alike. Come and chat with us about SS Freshspring — learn more about her story and our plans for her future.
