BIGFOOT was spotted in Wokingham on Saturday … by loads of children.
No, the mysterious ape-like creature hadn’t made the journey from the Californian forests, but it was his namesake, Bigfoot the clown.
He was one of the entertainers taking part in the annual Children’s Fun Day organised by Wokingham Town Council.
Through clowning around, he made youngsters laugh and inspire them to have a go at their own circus skills.
The event, held on Saturday at Langborough Recreation Ground, included a petting zoo, the opportunity to have a face painting session, and some fairground rides.
The event was free for children to enjoy.
As ever, the Scouts provided a barbecue, while an ice cream van did a roaring trade in the spring sunshine.
Families were also invited to bring a picnic to enjoy, as the event ran from 10am to 4pm.
A number of Wokingham town councillors were on hand to ensure the event went without a hitch.
A council spokesperson said: “Wokingham Town Council love to put on a free fun day for our younger residents each year.”
Now, the town council is busy making the final preparations for Saturday’s Party in the Park to mark the Platinum Jubilee.
The event runs from 2.30pm through to 9pm, and is another free day out.
There will be music from every decade of the Queen’s reign, from the 1950s to the present day, and includes tribute acts to Queen, Bob Marley and the Wailers, and The Spice Girls.
Street food stalls will be available, and there will also be children’s activities courtesy of morearts, Wokingham Library, and Circus Scene.
