The free event, run by Sudbury Town Council, aims to raise the profile of the diverse range of clubs and groups in and around the town with a day of family fun.

Belle Vue Park will host the event, which will see wide range of entertainment including dance, keep fit, baby ballet, exercise along with live music and food and drink stalls.

Climbing walls, bungee trampolines, Punch & Judy, magic shows, and a circus skills workshop will also be free to visitors.

This year’s new free attraction is a classic nine-hole golf course, which combines traditional mini golf with wacky obstacles.

Other activities include face painting, arts and crafts, bouncy castles, slides, inflatable gladiator games, a rodeo bull, children’s bumper cars and zorb football.

Throughout the day and into the night live music will be performed by a wide range of local talent split across two stages, the Acoustic Stage, run by The Befriending Scheme, will have performances all day with main stage acts, sponsored by McDonalds, starting at 5pm in the central arena.

This year’s event will take place on Sunday, July 22, from 11am-9pm, with no admittance after 8pm.
