The Prince of Wales Hospice is inviting local families to enjoy a day of fun, entertainment and community spirit as its popular Family Fun Day returns to Pontefract Park.
The event, on Sunday, August 9, will bring together local businesses, community groups, volunteers and supporters for a family-friendly celebration packed with attractions and activities, while raising vital funds to support local hospice care.
Running from 11am to 4pm, the event promises something for all ages.
Visitors can enjoy fairground rides, live entertainment, food and drink vendors, animal attractions, a car boot sale, local business stalls, a balloon modeller and special character appearances throughout the day.
Entry is free, with donations welcomed in support of the hospice.
The Family Fun Day has become a much-loved fixture in the local calendar, offering an affordable day out while showcasing the fantastic community spirit that exists across the Five Towns.
Sponsored by Hannah Davies, Personal Estate Agent, the event brings together families, local businesses and community organisations in support of a cause that touches the lives of so many people across the district.
Alongside the family entertainment, visitors can browse the popular car boot sale in search of pre-loved treasures and bargains and discover the organisations that help make the local community such a vibrant place to live.
Adrian Greenwood, Fundraising Manager at The Prince of Wales Hospice, said: “The Family Fun Day is about much more than a great day out.
"Every stallholder, volunteer, sponsor and visitor plays a part in helping us raise vital funds for Hospice care.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support we receive from our local community, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Pontefract Park this August.”
There are still opportunities for local businesses to book a stall and for individuals to secure a car boot pitch for £10 per vehicle.
Whether you’re looking for a fun family day out, a chance to support local traders, or simply an opportunity to enjoy the summer with friends and family, everyone is welcome.
Business stalls are available from £35 and entry for visitors is free.
