“It was a really busy day. The sun was shining and everyone enjoyed themselves. “It was constantly busy from 10am to 4pm.”A car boot sale was also held during the event – and it too was packed with people.Meanwhile, various members of the emergency services went along – including the police and paramedics – to chat with children and let them try out their equipment.

Paramedic, Alex Blake-Barnard was available to meet from NEMS

Keryn added: “I would say 90% of the stall holders had the best day that they have had in a long time.”
