Plus, the Phoenix Club’s resident band Les Alanos will be hosting an amazing 80s and 90s afternoon disco featuring live performances from chart stars Kenny Thomas, Hazell Dean, Dario G and Rozalla.

There will be funfair rides, a variety of food, a 100ft main bar and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
