Bears, burgers and bouncy castles at Castledawson family fun day organised by community partnership

More than 200 people recently enjoyed a fun filled day in Castledawson at an event organised by Castledawson Community Partnership and funded by the Housing Executive.

A perfect opportunity for all the family to come together, visitors enjoyed a range of free activities including a birds of prey demonstration, bouncy castles, a barbeque and ice-cream.

Katrina Farley, Assistant Area Manager at the Housing Executive, said: “This annual, tenant-led event was a great opportunity for people of all ages to have fun in an inclusive environment.

“It’s great to see the family fun day continue to go from strength to strength and offer something really positive for children, parents and grandparents to take part in.”
