The Children's Fun Day at Wokingham on Saturday.

The Children's Fun Day at Wokingham on Saturday.

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

IT WAS sunny side up, whichever way you turned as families flocked to a free fun day on Saturday.

With not a cloud in the sky, Langborough Recreation Ground was certainly the brightest place to be as Wokingham Town Council held its annual extravaganza.

Hundreds of people turned out for a day of fun and games aimed at children aged 10 and under.

Activities included small fairground rides, farm animal meet and greet, go-kart rides, hands-on arts and crafts.

Everything was free to have-a-go on or with, while there were some paid-for add-ons including a popular ice cream van and a barbecue from the 1st Winnersh Scouts.

Wokingham Town Mayor, Cllr Sally Gurney was thrilled with how the day had gone.

“For a first outing as a new mayor, I couldn’t have asked for better weather or a more fantastic event to be part of,” she said.

“It was a delight to see hundreds of happy faces, and I would like to thank everyone who helped make it happen.

“It is a privilege to be part of a council that is committed to holding such a brilliant free event for children every year, especially with the current cost of living crisis. Long may the fun day continue.”
