Upcoming Free events at Dreamland Margate

We all love a freebie! and with the summer holidays now in full flow we thought what better way to enjoy the seaside resort of Margate than with a free day at Dreamland.  Below is a list of what Dreamland are offering over the next month…………..

MR DANGER’S REALLY SAFE SHOW

Friday 28 July 2017 11:00 to 18:00

Free Entry

Shows at 1pm and 3pm

The moment the world’s been waiting for has arrived! Mr Danger, formerly the bravest daredevil in Britain, has now finished recovering from his recent catastrophic stunt attempt and is ready to wow the crowds once again! The man the doctors struggled to save after his epic effort to jump a motorcycle across 20 double decker buses with a paper bag over his head is back; and he’s thirsty for your amazement!

There’s just one problem. He’s now absolutely terrified of everything. Mr Danger’s legendary repertoire of wondrous feats must somehow be performed if he is to have any hope of impressing his audience; but although he still has as much swagger as Evel Knievel, he’s also now got as much guts as a fish in batter.

MORE DETAILS:

Mr Danger’s Really Safe Show combines a captivating mix of clowning, character comedy and puppetry. It’s full of intriguing and inspiring moments of interaction and is suitable for all ages. There will be drama, stunts, excitement, and laughter. Oh, and crocodile wrestling!
