“We’re really grateful to everyone who came along and the kids really enjoyed it.”

The event was a combined effort between Holbeach and Long Sutton Fire Station, with the latter helping out and responding to call outs from the station.

Support came from Refreshment Station who provided the ice cream and candy floss machines, and Sound4Sound who provided the PA system.
