There was bouncy castles, face painting, a disco in the evening and small traditional games available for families at no cost.
Coun Rachael Hauxwell, Shireoaks Parish Council chairman, said: “We just wanted everyone to be able to come down and have fun without worrying about the cost.
“The atmosphere was fantastic because parents could relax, bring a picnic and everything entertainment wise was free.

“We asked Rhodesia Parish Council if they would like to get onboard and they did not hesitate at all.
“A big thank you to all the staff and committee at Shireoaks Sports and Social Club, but also huge thanks to everyone who came and added to the atmosphere of the day.”
