COME rain or shine, families are expected to flock from far and wide to a bumper-packed Woolston and District Show this Sunday.

The annual community event held at Woolston Park is the perfect way to round off the summer with an afternoon of family entertainment, fun and horticulture.

The fun begins at 12.30pm and lasts all afternoon, with this year's show promising even more family activities than ever before.

Attractions include performances from modern clown Fraser Hooper who will delight the crowds with his internationally award-winning show involving no words, few props and plenty of hilarious audience participation.

Colourful street band Blowjangles will provide their very own brand of joyous festival music to the show fresh from playing at the Solvay Festival over the Bank Holiday.

Warrington Sea Cadets are looking forward to performing their Victorian Field Gun display on their own patch for the very first time.

Other attractions include performances from the Earl of Stamford Morris Dancers, a family funfair, charity stalls, children's entertainment, land train rides and lots more.

As always, there will be plenty of have-a-go activities on offer such as circus skills, woodland crafts and pottery.

For amateur and professional gardeners, Woolston and District Horticultural Society's Show is open for all to enter.

Entries can be made on the day, from 8.30am to 11.30am, with many categories available, including special children's categories.

Elaine Moss, Woolston ranger, said: "There really is something for everyone at this community event, from the chance to enter items in the horticultural society's show to having a go at pottery or just watching first class entertainment."

Follow the signs to Kingsland Grange for parking.

Woolston and District Show is organised by Warrington Borough Council's ranger service in partnership with Woolston & District Horticulture Society and Friends of Woolston Park, with financial support from Woolston Parish Council.
