Obstacles courses were also there to do and sandwiches were also dished out.

Organiser Jacky Hohol said: “We had an amazing day with great weather for the third year running.

“I think we had around 2,500 attendees again which is fabulous support.

“All the money raised goes to AFG Preston, Cash for Kids, The Space Centre and Dig In North West.

“It’s been fantastic to see and hear so much local talent on stage all day entertaining the crowds.”

Krispy Kreme doughnuts caused a queue with cheap packs available for families to buy.
