Youngsters were also kept entertained by a couple of traditional fairground rides, face-painting, and a stand selling light-up LED wands, ‘lightsabers’ and spinner toys.

Clubhouse manager Molly Sunley told the Standard: “We had well in excess of 2,000 people through the gate this year, so that was fantastic.

“It would have been even more but I think the weather put off a few people.

“But all in all, everyone seemed to really enjoy it this year – and there was a great atmosphere all round.”
