We also have a visit from a Princess, with thanks to Dreams that Glitter Princess Parties while the amazing Froggle parties will be providing an hour of magic, puppetry, balloon models and bubbles! Suitable for all ages.

“J Williams Amusements and Catering will be supplying food all day selling chips, burgers, hotdogs, candy floss, sweets and hot drinks and Henley’s Cake Company will be there with some delicious cakes too.

“The live music starts at midday, going through until late featuring local bands and singers, kindly giving their time for this worthy cause.”
