Working with the Barkway Community Group and clergy from the St Mary Magdalene Church, there was a series of races for all children from preschool to Year 4 and then for parents and the ecclesiastical group.
Races preceded refreshments, raffle and a bring and buy sale. Acting headteacher Mrs Sharon Brown said: “The event was huge fun from start to finish.
“It was great to see so many people involved and from different parts of the community.
