Hundreds of people were said to have visited the Orbital Shopping Park last weekend to visit Justin Tomlinson MP’s Summer Activities Fair.
The Summer Activities Fair is an annual event, that aims to bring together clubs, businesses and organisations from across Swindon, to showcase the events and activities on offer throughout the summer holidays.
There were a number of different activities kindly arranged by the groups in attendance including:
- An acrobatic gymnastics display from Evoke Gymnastics
- Face painting and balloon animals
- A visit from Spiderman and Princess Elsa, from Kidz About
- Goodie bags courtesy the Link Centre
- Football tennis organised by Draycott Sports Camp
- Model trains presented by Coate Water Miniature Railway
- A raffle organised by Swindon and Cricklade Railway
- Craft activities from the Girlguiding team
- Giant Jenga from Haydon Wick Parish Council.
In addition to this there were stalls from Dreamy Little Events, Swindon Parkrun, St Andrews Parish Council, Educate Together Education Trust, and Swindon Supermarine Rugby Football Club.
With the schools breaking up this week, the Fair was said to have been a great opportunity for parents and carers to see what is on offer to keep the children entertained while they are not at school.
North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson said of the event: “It was wonderful to see so many people turn out to enjoy the fabulous weather and fantastic activities on offer. I want to say a huge thank you to all the groups and organisations who took part and made the day so special.”
