BRILLIANT!!!!! such a great video to showcase the community spirit of Hetton le hole - and just one of its beautiful parks. We really enjoyed this video - very well done x
Good to see a thriving carnival still going strong today. When I was a kid we used to have a massive carnival every year as so many other towns and villages did, real shame most are dying out today. It looked really busy there and I particularly noticed the home make food stall - yum! makes you wonder where all these classic cars have been over the years and that Cobra sounded and looked insane. I quite like the Alpaca's, not that keen on the spitting Lama's mind and one for sure there, you would not go hungry, so many places to eat. Looked a good day out, cheers Alan
Thanks for watching Alan. Carnivals in small towns and villages seem to be few and far between these days. This one is co-organised by Eventsto gogo and Springboard, who look after the Lakes, and they seem to do a good job of it.
Hiya Andy, enjoyed the trip to Hetton Carnival, hehe, the 'ambitious climber' that made me chuckle haha! Really nice to see the crafts and the fun things to enjoy at the carnival and most importantly seeing people having a great time!! Awesome to see some of the vintage retro cars, the blue Vdub was excellent, would love to camp in that. What a fun time, thank you so much for bringing us along with you!
Great intro, Andy! It made us want to see more! It looked like a wonderful carnival with lots going on. Lovely location too. Nice to see the vintage cars - very cool. Thanks for showing us around ❤😊
Thanks for watching, Julie and Lucy. The park is a wonderful location considering it was industrial wasteland 40 years ago. The Carnival is a great community event. It's good to see events like this continue.
Fantastic reclaimed greenspace!! That Thames camper van is wonderful...I'm sure there aren't many of them around and probably none here in Canada! Looks like there was a nice variety of vendors. Thought we'd at least see you give the panda a hug! lol A great day was had for sure!
Thanks, Bruce. The lakes are a fantastic asset to the town. I remember being a child, and it was an old mine waste heap, a complete eyesore. The Carnival was a free event, so great for families. The old Thames was a pretty little van, great for classic vehicle shows, but I think I'd want more creature comforts of a modern van for actual camping. Have a great week with Otis 🐕.
This one almost slipped by us! Apologies Andy! What a lovely looking area you walked through to get to the event and liked your information! The transformers are cool! Looks a lovely event with lots to see, do, buy and eat! Great family day out! The climbing wall looks fun did you have ago? Are this is the reason you attended this event all the well kept motors from different eras, some very nice ones! That little red one is funny looking! They are all kept in such great condition! Wow that growling cobra is loud hate to have him as a neighbour 😂 Aaww alpacas 🦙 adorable the 🇺🇸 school bus food truck looked cool so much food choices what did you have? Bet the dancing panda was adored by the kiddiwinks! Enjoyed coming along with you to this carnival 👍
Hi guys, thanks for watching. I went back on the Sunday, just to film the cars to put in the video (they were Sunday only). The red one is a Dutch post office van based on the old Daf 33 variomatic things that were popular in the late 60s/70s. Definitely shades of Postman Pat about it. No, I gave the climbing wall a miss, I don't have a good head for heights. We did try a wild boar hot dog thing off one of the stalls. It was alright, Mrs didn't like hers, though.
Hello Andy, this was a lovely walk around the festival. Lots of things to see. Loved the alpacas so cute. The bubbles looked really good. Hope your dad recovers quickly. Take care x Julie and Tony x
Now that looked like a great day out. Plenty of stalls to look round. And of course the vehicles. Some cool ones o. Show there. Like the Thames camper. Full of original kit too. The cobra was awesome. Not sure I would get in it tbh. An enjoyable watch mate. Although I will be copyrighting the use of my wandering phrases. 😂😂👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
I must be watching too many of your videos if I've picked up your phrases....I can stop if you like 😀 I adlibbed the whole thing, so it must have slipped in! Yeah, the Thames is pretty nice, not sure I'd want to do the NC500 in it though but a perfect show piece. The Cobra replica is pretty cool, it's been around for a while now so the owner clearly takes care of it. I think I'd get in it, getting out in a dignified manner might be something else though. Cheers for watching, Watto. See you in the land of the pasty soon.
Loved that Andy 😍 Mk1 lotus Cortina MGB GT Mk3 Escort cabriolet That Orion had an R/S turbo sticker on it - never seen one of those and wasn’t sure they actually had made one. 🤷🏻♂️ Love the carnivals 👌♥️
Cheers, Phil. The Orion has all the RS bits in it, so whilst not being a factory model, it was pretty much as close as you can get. It was a good little event, free too apart from the visits to the food stalls. 😉
A camper van is high on my list of things to own, although a more modern one perhaps. It would be great to wake up to some fantastic scenery. Thanks for watching Ellie and Martyn, I hope you are both OK.
We have a similar ex colliery that’s now a nature reserve and family park Andy - a great place to visit and enjoy the activities - loved the Thames pop top camper ( and the period interior) altho I prefer mine for modern features and accessories! A lovely tour and a great day out 👍🏻
interesting and exciting "Family Fun at Hetton Carnival 2024"

Thanks for watching and commenting. The blue camper is an old Ford Thames van, a model only made in the UK.
@@OutandaboutwithAndy Thanks for sharing this additional information . It is exceptional ! 👍👍
Fun time at the carnival, Andy. Lovely setting on the water. We enjoyed seeing all the vendors and the cars. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks for watching Dave and Kathy, much appreciated.

Thanks for watching, I was brought up in Hetton and regularly pop back to Hetton Country Park for a wander. The Carnival is a great event for Hetton.

Looks like an amazing carnival with a sense of community spirit. Loved the transformsrs 😊. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤
@MattandBecExplores-lt9vf thanks for watching Matt and Becs. Have a great weekend too.
What a great action packed day out...wish we saw more of the dancing pandas.
I knew I should have filmed more of the Panda performance. 😀 I was a great, free event. Perfect to keep the kids amused.

Thanks for watching, Alessa and Brett. Fair play to the lady, that was the ambitious climber. I'm not sure I would have braved it.

A good day out. I love that Thames camper - way cooler than a Veedub! Keith
Cheers for watching Keith. I've been getting a bit lax on the photography channel video front lately. Yeah that little thames is pretty cool.
Hi Andy 😊 lots of fun things to do for families, looked a great day out. Liked that light blue camper, very nice 👍
Thanks Yasmin, I think I have featured that camper before. I think all the period accessories it has inside make it stand out.
Thanks for showing us around Andy. Nice cars on display 👌 👍
Thanks for watching the premiere, Adzey. Yeah, there were some nice cars, even if it was just a small display .
@OutandaboutwithAndy Still worth a look 👀 👍 no worries, mate 👍

So much fun, and things to do and the transformers were there, love it. Brilliant festival.
Thanks for watching Cara, much appreciated. 👏

Looked like so much fun!
Thanks LB, it was a good event.
Loved that Andy 😍

Oh cool 😎 loved the vw camper would love to own one of those 🧸🐻

Thanks for watching Andrew. Yeah that baby Blue Thames was pretty cool but not sure I'd want to travel the country in it.
Would you believe I loved the Bubble Man 😂😂😂....this was a great family event.
Thanks, Shumi. I was a nice little event.
Nice classic cars, but still missing my favourite one
The Toyota Sera with the butterfly doors was as close as we got, Stu. Thanks for watching 🙂.
