In photos: Burgess Hill Town Council and The Kings Church hold successful family fun sessions

The event, which took place on Tuesday, August 8, offered activities run by Kings Church volunteers, including straw rockets and keyring making.

Burgess Hill Youth provided sand art, Circus Allstars had a circus area and tightrope and there was an inflatable disco dome with lights and music.

The event was sponsored by The Budding Foundation who also donated seeds, pot and compost for a salad seed planting activity.

Budding Foundation founder Clive Gravett said: “I am really pleased we were able to support these events. I attended the session on Tuesday afternoon and was very impressed with the activities and substantial effort put in by the volunteers. The children were certainly enjoying and learning from their participation.”
