Billing Aquadrome is a leisure park in Great Billing, a district of eastern Northampton, England.[1] Facilities within the 235-acre (1 km2) park, which was built around various mature gravel pits, include a caravan site, marina and funfair. It is also frequently home to a wide variety of shows throughout the year, including music events and car shows such as Vauxfest.[2]
