Aiming to be one of the best family-friendly events of the summer the Fun Day, which is sponsored by Harlow estate agents Reyland and Johnson, will feature a whole host of attractions.

St Clare Hospice Community Fundraiser Dani De’ath, the event organiser, said: “We really can’t wait to host another fantastic Family Fun Day for the people of Harlow. The community gives so much support to their local Hospice that it is lovely to hold an event which all the family can enjoy – whilst still helping St Clare’s!”

Dani said: “We really have pulled out all the stops this year to make it a great event. We will have everything on offer, from face painting, traditional fairground games and interactive science experiments for children – to live music and a whole range of classic cars from Custom Exotic Cars. We will also have special performances from local dance groups Hip Hop Pop and Dance Fusion, as well as playing host to our very own Disney princess! There genuinely is something to entertain the whole family.”

The Fun Day will offer a range of stalls to browse, as well as sideshows, games and competitions. The raffle will feature a cash prize of £250 with a tombola also offering the chance to win top prizes. Both hot and cold food will be available to purchase – from burgers to ice cream and candy floss.

Entry to the St Clare Family Fun Day costs £1 per adult and is free for children. For more information view the St Clare Family Fun Day event page: http://stclarehospice.org.uk/event/st-clare-family-fun-day/

Entry to the St Clare Family Fun Day is free with the St Clare’s Open Gardens Brochure – a horticultural event which is taking place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 June across Harlow.

St Clare’s Open Gardens Weekend offers the opportunity for green-fingered and flower-loving folk to explore 27 of the area’s best-kept gardens. Highlights in the Harlow area for 2016 include the Herts and Essex Community Farm near Elizabeth Way, and the Harlow Museum garden near First Avenue. There are also a number of beautiful gardens to be visited on Potter Street and in the Bishopsfield area.

Entry to all the participating gardens is by brochure only. They cost £5 each and contain all the details and locations of the gardens that will be open over the weekend.

Brochures for the Open Gardens Weekend are available to purchase from all eight of the Hospice’s shops as well as from The Laurels on Hastingwood Road, Hastingwood (corner of Glovers Lane), CM17 9JX.
