Cowboy Showdown at Blackgang Chine
Penned on the 22nd March 2017
Using nothing but an old bit of wood and maybe a homemade bow and arrow out of some bamboo from the garden and bit of string, I'm sure many people have fond memories of playing Cowboys and Indians (native Americans) as a child, I know I do.
So if like me the idea of being able to do this for real (sort of) in a replica western town fills you with feeling of nostalgia and childhood glee, you'll need to mosey on down to cowboy land at Blackgang chine during the May half term.
Throughout the week, the explosive cowboy showdown returns with live performances twice a day, bank robberies and shoot outs!
You can become an outlaw or a sheriff and improve your skills at the cowboy training school.
If you're visiting the park outside of the May half term, you can still find all the usual sights of a western town, including a saloon, general store and of course the jail! You're even find a gun store where you pick up a noisy cap gun revolver or rifle. Noisy fun for children of ALL ages.
