Discover Rutland, Rutland Day, Rutland Water, Food and Drink Festival

Today is Rutland Day for a number of years Anglian Water hosted celebrations
at Sykes Lane Rutland Water.

This year there is no event.

Until last year the event was free for all the public to attend. There was the normal
parking charge for those who arrived by car.

Sadly some one decided to make the day a money making event rather than
a fun day which celebrated all that was good about Rutland. By adding a food
Festival.

The Parking charge increased last year and people arriving on foot or bicycle were
charged.

Admission is £6 per car (occupants free). For visitors arriving on foot or bicycle £3 per adult; £2 for children; a family of 2 adults and up to 6 children £10.

Maybe the county town can host the event next year I am sure we could fit the food marque
somewhere in the high street.

Rutland Radio is still celebrating all day
