Fun for the family and people of all ages will take place at Christ Church in the grounds, community centre and church itself.
There will be tons of stalls including games, tombola’s and information stands.
Classic kids games like hook and duck and splat the rat will be available alongside inflatable fun donated by ‘Sky’s the limit’ such as bouncy castles, Battle of the gladiators with Pugil sticks and a nerf gun shootout.
Gemma Short Academy of dance and Lawn Manor Academy will be in attendance to provide some entertainment with singers and dancers from 12.45-1.45pm.
Inside the church itself will be our heritage element. Volunteers will take visitors up the 46-steps of Christ Church’s tower to have a go at ringing the bells. Inside the Victorian church, there will be opportunities to try hand bell ringing, meet local author John Stooke who will introduce his new book “Last Orders” and find out more about Swindon’s history.
Food will be provided by Devizes Road café Dotty’s with a variety of burgers, hot dogs, chips and a vegan chill bean stew. There will also be a bar/ beer tent available.
