About The Root Around Great Britain Festival:

For the third consecutive year, the Parque Miramar Shopping Centre in Fuengirola celebrates the best of British culture with the ‘A Root Around Great Britain Festival’. The festival presents the best curiosities, quirks and culture of the British. Go along and marvel at some of the strangest events in the Bizarre Britain Gallery. From the quirky, to the marvellous, to the most bizarre!

Dancing:

Take part in the fabulous Tea Dance, with music and song from the 1940s with the wonderful T.A.P.A.S Society. Plus brush up on your Fox Trot, Quick Step and Cha, Cha, Cha moves with their award winning dance instructor Nicolas Valiente. A tea dance wouldn’t be complete without a delicious afternoon tea, with sandwiches, petit fours and a spot of Ice Tea. All the better for being free to visitors who dare to dance!

Food:

British ‘Food Glorious Food’ is represented in the Great British cheese tasting sessions. They have flown over some of Britain’s most delicious and award-winning cheeses, rich in heritage and flavour. For those with a sweeter tooth, there are traditional Scottish sweets from the wonderful Edinburgh-based Shortbread House.

Entertainment for Children:

There are lots of activities for children including the Harry Potter Magic Workshop for budding magicians. To celebrate the Rugby World Cup, the Rugby Tots will be on hand to show you how to kick a rugby ball Johnny Wilkinson-style and if you ever wanted to find out What It’s All About To Be A Scout, go along, as the Fuengirola Scouts will be recreating a real scout meeting, plus lots more.

Little one’s will also be transported into a magical setting in the Alice in Wonderland’s ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’. With ‘Eat Me’ Cakes and ‘Drink Me’ juice being served.

Health:

During the weekend the Cudeca Foundation and the Angels Nursing Group will be presenting some of the inspiring work they do to help those that most need it most on the coast. The Lions Club Diabetes Group will also be on hand to give advice and offer free glucose sugar level tests for visitors.

This wonderful celebration of Great Britain will take place on the first floor of the Parque Miramar Shopping Centre at the A40 Sports Screen area, next to the restaurant and bar zone on the first floor.
