In an exclusive interview, Jaki Ellenby, Executive Director Marketing at Global Village, talked about a new water stunt show and a relocated water market. 

Global Village has also introduced a variety of new attractions for the new season, including a 'Peter Rabbit' adventure zone and a large fire fountain.

In light of the expected visitor numbers, safety has been ramped up. Ellenby explained the various ways in which the venue has ensured safety, with new ISO ratings, high tech certification, and the reception of the sword of honour from the British Safety Council.
