Free ice cream for all as Bellway opens its new play area at Seaford Grange
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The homebuilder held a launch event for the new play area on Saturday, August 3 and paid for an ice cream van to provide free treats for everyone who attended.
Two of the development’s youngest residents, sisters Felicity, 10, and Amelia Sarjeant, 12, cut the ribbon to declare the play area officially open before dozens of local children and adults stepped inside to try out the new equipment.

Hide AdSales Director for Bellway Kent, Mark Harrop, said: “It was a very enjoyable event for everyone and I’m sure all those children who came along will always remember the day they got to explore their new play area for the first time.
“We have got some great equipment there including slides, swings, climbing frames, and stepping stones, as well as benches for the mums, dads and grandparents to sit on and watch the children having fun.
“The event was a great way of bringing local residents together and making them aware that this fantastic new facility is now open and ready for youngsters to enjoy.”
Bellway laid on the ice cream van, supplied by Seaford Ices, so that everyone who attended the opening could have a treat.
