Billed as the biggest the school in Hassocks had ever held, the event was filled with fun for all ages.

Pupils in the school bands entertaining crowds were a popular last minute addition to the proceedings.

We ran out of beer at the end of the day and also the Pimm’s tent did very well.

“Altogether from a visitor point of view, I think everyone enjoyed themselves.”

“The dog show was very popular and that kept going all day.

“The headteacher came up to me and she said she sees a load of smiling faces. That was encouraging and hopefully we will build on that success next year. We were very fortunate with the weather.”
