A DOG show, a Disney-themed fancy dress contest, games and a packed schedule of family entertainment awaits at Walford Village Hall on Monday, August 26, for a big summer family fun day which traditionally attracts hundreds of families for fun in the sun in a beautiful location in the Wye Valley.
Excitement is building for the popular annual event, helping to raise funds for Walford Village Hall, which is building on the success of the last two events, which saw hundreds turn out to enjoy the fun.
This year, the event will stage a Disney-themed fancy dress contest, which is sure to be a big hit with families in addition to a giant inflatable slide for children.
The ever-popular dog show returns, boasting ten different classes ranging from the best fancy-dressed dog and the waggiest tail to the best sausage catcher and king of the show.
The event, at Walford Village Hall, near Ross-on-Wye, promises to be a day of fun in the sun for families with a range of traditional children’s games including splat the rat, hook-a-duck and sack races.
At the Walford fun day, visitors can also visit a wide range of stalls with a raffle with a box of top-quality wine and an air fryer as top prizes.
In addition, a huge range of stalls will be present offering a huge variety of exciting goods and games, including Teddy Tombola, hand-made jewellery, crochet, crafts, tarot reading, Pokemon cards, frames and Pokemon art, jams and jellies and sweet treats to name but a few.
Tempting food and drink is also available ranging from Midnight Pizza to Soup by T, ice cream, cakes and so much more.
Anthony Jones, Walford Village Hall Trustee, said: “Last year’s event was an amazing success. So many people turned out in the sunshine to support us. They had a great time and this year, it looks to be our best yet with a wide variety of outlets with delicious food and drink, many stalls, our very popular dog show. We’d like to thank all those stall-holders for their support. We can’t wait to see all the colourful costumes for our Disney-themed fancy dress competition. We look forward to seeing you at the event.”
