Diggerland Competition
5:07pm Tuesday 8th July 2008
ARE you stuck for ideas about what to do with this summer? Diggerland at Strood is open everyday from July 12 to September 7 this summer. To give readers a chance to try the attraction out, Diggerland had teamed up with News Shopper to give away £600 worth of tickets.
We have 10 tickets to Diggerland, each allowing four people in to the park.
Diggerland is the adventure park experience which lets you ride and drive real JCBs, from one to eight-and-half tons of magnificent machinery for you and your family to use.
Children and adults experience driving real construction machinery around designated tracks and courses, you can try the mini challenges and put your coordination to the test or you can experience the adrenaline rush of sitting in the bucket of a giant JCB excavator 25 ft in the air and being spun around 360 degrees. There are the Digger Dodgems, Diggerland's newest attraction too.
- Diggerland is open from 10am to 5pm weekends and seven days a week during school holidays. Minimum age and height restrictions apply. Entry is £15 per person, under threes are free.
- Visit diggerland.com or call 08700 344437. Online discounts are available.
- Diggerland, Medway Valley Leisure Park, Roman Way, Strood, Kent ME2 2NU.
