Fun for all the family at Henbury and Brentry Funday

Release Date:  26-Aug-2008

A wide range of events for people of all ages will take place at Barnards Park, Crow Lane, on August 30th as part of the ever-popular Henbury and Brentry funday.

The third annual funday will be opened at 12noon by the Lord Mayor of Bristol and Lady Mayoress.

The event has grown in size each year and this year will have even more activities than ever before, including an inflatable version of the set of the Gladiators TV show, a bouncy castle and even inflatable human table football. There will also be a chance to throw wet sponges at local Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), and Henbury School's police officer.

The funday marks the end of the summer holidays and aims to provide a local event for children and young people to meet up and have fun. It is also about building community confidence, and engaging local residents of all ages. The SEARCH (Support, Environment, Agencies, Residents, Community, Help) group will also be raising funds to support future community safety initiatives and projects.

Cllr Derek Pickup, Cabinet Member for Safer Bristol Partnership, which has organised the event in partnership with the police and Henbury and Brentry Community Council, said: “This funday will give residents of all ages and local traders the opportunity to come together to enjoy themselves and to build bridges between all parts of the community."
