The fun day was billed as a family day out and there was something there for all ages.
The whole event was organised and hosted by the Coastal Team who worked hard to make the day a success.
Visitors attending the event were greeted by a Johnny Depp/Jack Sparrow look-a- like who with his realistic characteristics set the tone.
In the entertainment areana, the event was opened with a musical group of young opera singers from the Welsh Royal College of Music.
This was followed by a Bird of Prey demonstration
In the sports field we had Olympic events such as – Welly Throwing; Hoola Hooping; Sack Race and Egg and Spoon. Winners all receiving their medals and certificates of participation.
There was a pitch dedicated to aspiring young footballers who had the benefit of professional football coaches with a very popular 5 a side tournament in the afternoon.
Plus throughout the day we could watch skills of the free runners/base jumpers.
As well as all the field activities there were a variety of stalls including – coconut shy; splat the rat; bean bag ladder toss; guess the ‘competitions’; jewellery making ; nail art; tombola, cup cakes, and face painting.
There was also a mini fair ground attractions with the popular bucking bronco, mini waltzers, giant slide and demolition derby.
The atmosphere throughout the day was fantastic as everyone joined in the fun. The tug-o-war competition turned into a riot of purple as staff, adults and children all joined in.
The Fancy Dress Comp enjoyed a good turnout with entrants dressed in delightful costumes ranging from Snow White, A Spanish Lady, Pirates and the youngest entrant of all – 8 month old Ashton in his Batman suit.
The event closed with a balloon release of over 200 balloons . AT the time of writing this article, we have had confirmation of 2 balloons reaching the Shropshire Borders!.
On the back of the success of we are looking forward to staging another event like this next year.
