In August a group of SES children and adults attended the Gone Wild Festival in north Norfolk.  There was so much going on they struggled to fit everything in.  One of the highlights was taking part in a colour run, enjoyed by the children as they could throw paint over themselves and the adults with no consequences!  One of the children had to step out of his comfort zone to join in, but ended up having an absolute blast. The adults had just as much fun and one of them stated the event was probably one of his top highlights since being at SES, and he’s had a few!

After a quick lunch break and wash, everyone headed to the main arena for a four-wheeled adventure. They met up with another two children and an adult to enjoy a fun quad biking experience. One of the children said, “that has got to be the highlight of my year” and was over the moon he had been able to try it.

Once evening arrived it was time to dance!  All met up at the main stage to watch the Lightning Seeds, and managed to get the signature of the lead singer. Later the band Blue performed and, despite the children being WAY too young to remember them the first time round, they all thoroughly enjoyed it and had a brilliant time dancing and cheering.  All four of the young people had a fantastic evening and didn’t want it to end, so they topped it off with a final 30 minute silent disco before heading home.

The day was incredible, made more special as it was shared by children and adults from Turnstone House and Avocet House, creating lasting memories with people they don’t mix with every day.
