"There will also be lots of other great activities for everyone to have a go at – including arts and craft activities.

“Come rain or shine, there will be lots going on between 11am and 3pm to keep the little ones entertained, so pack up your picnic goodies and come along and join us!

“Plus, if you don’t want your fun to end at 3pm, why not check out the fabulous Market Walk where you can find a raft of entertainment venues including a cinema, ten pin bowling and adventure golf.”
