“Sadly the bouncy castles could only run for a short amount of time for safety reasons, but all other activities and work shops carried on such as reptiles, ponies, arts, crafts and lots of disco.

“Fantastic workshops included Ollie Heath’s beatboxing with Panda P, and a singalong Greatest Showman workshop by local contemporary choir Singegy.”

Activities including arts, craft, singing, dancing, sporting activities, story tent, sensory play and more were also held to keep visitors entertained and street food stalls provided a tasty selection of child-centred and grown-up treats throughout the day.
