A craft arena will include arts and crafts demonstrations, stained glass, hurdle-making and herbal remedies.
A fete will have many stalls such as cakes and books, a contest to guess the name of the pig and bear-naming and face painting.
The centre's retail outlets will be operating along with its projects such as wood recycling. Plenty of inflatable fun will be available along with the chance to meet one of the trust's pigs.

But it is also intended to highlight the trust's work at the country centre and in Bognor.
