This year’s Orford Park Festival was saved from cancellation at the eleventh hour by W. Chadwick’s funfair
After fearing that this year’s community event would not go ahead, Chadwick’s fair stepped in to organise the event with support from the Neighbourhoods team and the WBC Community initiative fund, which has provided some funding for the event.
Putting smiles on the faces of local children and adults alike on a wonderful summers day were attractions including fairground rides, community stalls, Dr Diabolo great escape show, character sing along and much more.
Warrington Radio provided the music and compared events in the arena.
Aleeza Rashid, wife of Faisal Rashid, M.P. for Warrington South, was on hand to make beautiful henna tattoos.
Many charities set up stalls to promote their worthy causes including Macintyres and Warrington Animal Welfare. WBC were also on hand promoting healthier lifestyle choices and free physical check-ups for all ages.
Warrington Worldwide caught up with Cllr. Mike Hannon, who officially opened the event and Walter Chadwick who spoke of the importance of community events such as this and the video interview can be viewed below.
