GALLERY – Pop-up picnic in the park is a hit

There was fun and games for all the family at a pop-up picnic in the park at Donington Community Centre.

With everything from space hoppers to the Rock School Bus, there was plenty to keep visitors occupied.

The event is part of the South Holland Outdoor Festival which is offering free events around the district during the school summer holidays.

“It has been great to see people of all ages getting involved with our Outdoor Festival across the district and using the opportunity to get out of the house and take part in some fantastic activities together,” said Coun Gary Taylor, portfolio holder for communities and facilities.

“There is still a great range of events coming up over the rest of the month, including Nordic walking in Surfleet, crafts in Crowland and the chance to play some crazy golf alongside Spalding Market,” he added.

There were also garden games and a skittle alley from 1pm to 4pm yesterday (Weds) at Hall Place, Spalding.
