'Death defying' stunts and hot air balloons
The Chronicle
|June 05, 2025
THE operators of The Hoppings are to host an all-action party this weekend ahead of their annual visit to Newcastle.
Crow Events, which runs the city’s much-loved funfair which will be back on the Town Moor within a matter of days, will first showcase a three-day Party in the Park from tomorrow.
This event will include fairground rides, street food, bars, entertainment and what's described as ‘death defying’ stunts as well as other dramatic sights such as illuminated hot air balloons.
It will take place in Stewart Park in Middlesbrough, which is about an hour's drive from Newcastle where, as previously reported, The Hoppings will have a 10-day visit from June 20.
Ryan Crow, who is organising both family treats, says the Party in the Park will be big on food too, with international cuisine on offer.
