Around 600 people attended the family-friendly event at the Home in Worthing on Saturday July 12, helping to raise £5,700 for the charity.
Those attending on a sun-kissed day enjoyed plenty of live music, food and drinks, martial arts demonstrations, arts and crafts stalls and traditional games for people all ages. Refreshments were also available from the newly reopened Cuppa Corner café, and there were more stalls and fun activities in the Home’s Wellbeing Hub.
Guests included Worthing West MP Dr Beccy Cooper, Tim Fooks, the High Sheriff of West Sussex, Worthing Mayor Cllr Cathy Glynn-Davies, and Town Crier Bob Smytherman.
