Mike Walton, who is hosting the event alongside Tom and Maria Walton, said: “We will have a walk around town, the parks, the Docks and go for a pint after.

“If people want to dress up they can but please make sure you have weather appropriate gear on.”

Anyone under 13 needs to bring a parent or guardian, or a signed letter giving consent for them to attend.
