Hundreds of children and their families flocked to Highbridge’s Apex Park on Wednesday (August 6th) to take part in an annual fun day.
The Sedgemoor Playday, which this year had the theme of ‘Give us a Go’, was run in conjunction with Sedgemoor District Council, Somerset County Council and the National Playday scheme.
There were plenty of activities to see and join in with, including wall climbing, donkey rides, face painting, paper kite making and circus skills. The ‘Man from Story Mountain’ with his tepee was also in attendance, along with Drumzone, an African drumming group, and local groups including the Burnham-On-Sea hovercraft crew.
“It was a very successful event,” said Julie Cooper of Sedgemoor District Council. “There were huge crowds of children and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. The weather forecast was bot bad, but fortunately their predictions were fortunately not accurate.”
