Thanks to our amazing sponsors: Dreams Estates, Pass Junior Driving School, Painttastic, Glittertastic, Rumble Wrestling Promotions, Avery Healthcare, Age UK & more!This year The Junior Driving School is back in the small field. This enables children to have a go at driving a ‘proper car’ for a very small charge. The money raised will be donated to the local food bank. Pass driving school also have a vast number of followers from different sectors of the community and this will help us to reach even wider into different sectors of the community.
We have also incorporated a Traditional Fair Games section again this year. This is to enable families to enjoy some cheaper ways to entertain the family if wanted. The traditional fayre games like roll the penny, higher and lower, smash the place, sticks, roll the dice, lock box, hook the duck and many more. This year we are also working in collaboration with Age UK Herne Bay and Whitstable, they will run the Traditional Fair Games area and the money raised in this area will go to help them continue running their programmes within the local area for the vulnerable older people of our communities. By collaborating with Age UK this year it is hoped that we bring another demographic to the event more, and maybe they will bring their families, friends etc.
Herne Bay LBGQT+ are also helping to steward the event.
We are also lucky to work with two amazing groups that are based in the park and help to remind people that they are based there permanently, and what they do for the community. The Community Gardens and the Heron Model Boat Club.
