FAMILIES enjoyed inflatables, balloons and cakes at two special fun days organised by a Woodley church.
Members of Emmanuel in Southlake Crescent organised the two-day event on Friday and Saturday last week, offering some fantastic and free half-term fun.
The church estimates that 500 people attended on the first day, and more were expected on the second.
It was supported by Wokingham Borough Council and Just Around The Corner (JAC), which sent its mobile van along. Church members baked cakes which were sold for a modest fee in a special tea tent.
One of the event’s organisers, Sam Mutton, said that it was part of the church’s desire to serve the people of Woodley.
“Every attraction is free and we’ve kept the refreshment prices as low as possible,” he explained. “We want to let the community know that, as a church, we’re there for them. It’s all about blessing the community and showing God’s love for them.
“The tea tent was a hit. You couldn’t move at times in the refreshment tent,” he added.
On the Saturday, the event included a puppet show, something that Mr Mutton said was always a hit.
“They’re always very popular,” he added.
