Fun in the Parks kicked off this year at the Town Centre Park on Wednesday 5th August, the weather was kind to us and over 1200 people attended the free event organised by Great Aycliffe Town Council, children enjoyed Punch and Judy shows, Mr Twister and his amazing magic tricks and balloon modelling, fairground rides and the animal train inflatable. We had a craft marquee, two face painters and NAYFC also held a football competition. We also had story time sessions for the little ones.
