It was our first large scale event since 2019 due to Covid and everyone was very excited to join in the fun.
"We had performances from Bright Lights dancers and Millar Memorial Flute Band, along with inflatables, a BBQ, petting farm, pony & cart rides, climbing wall and stalls from the PSNI , Royal Irish regiment and Orange Heritage museum.
