Lots to do for families in the summer holidays says BID

Thankfully, the rain held off just long enough for our Family Fun Day on Saturday, July 31, allowing so many families the opportunity to enjoy the activities and free rides on offer.

After what has been a really strange time for us all it was a pleasure to see and hear so many children having fun and enjoying themselves.

Those attending also had the opportunity to enter our summer hamper competition. The contents of which have all been purchased in various shops in town, showing that you can really shop local.

Congratulations go to George and Val who guessed the price of the summer hamper goodies to within 26p of the total cost of £302.76.

Speaking of the school holidays; parents have the difficult task of keeping children entertained particularly if the weather keeps them inside.

Don’t forget the newly opened Arts Café located in the lobby of the hall and this has outside seating available for visitors to enjoy a relaxing coffee and a delicious cake while the kids are kept busy.

And finally, the phrase that meets some with dread and others a sense of relief ‘back to school.
