Sunday, 3rd June will see a wash of colour, music and delicious smells at Westhill Recreation Ground, as residents of Westfield and beyond gather for the seventh annual Fun Day. A firm date now in the parish calendar, this year’s event promises to be the biggest yet, with lots of exciting new attractions.

One of the organisers told The Journal: ‘The event kicks off at 12 noon, opened by none other than Michael Eavis CBE, local farmer and festival host extraordinaire! This will be followed by rousing tunes from the Midsomer Norton and Radstock Silver Band and a jam-packed schedule of performances in the show ring from new and old favourites.

“Meanwhile, around the field, visitors will enjoy a wide range of stalls and attractions. As well as the lovely donkeys of Danny Donkey & Pals, the display of classic cars, inflatables, Spiderman, raffle, tombola, skittles and BBQ, this year we are excited to be joined by Disney Royalty! Yes, Princess Elsa will be there from 1.30 p.m. to 2.30 p.m. to meet you and pose for photos.

“And if that wasn’t enough, this year, we are delighted to be able to bring you a stunning interactive birds of prey display, where you can not only see these magnificent creatures, but hold them and touch them as well. Meanwhile, we will have a fairground organ to put you in the holiday mood and you will also be able to visit not one but two fire engines – one classic and one brand new – and meet fire crew from our local station.

“Last but not least, we know what those Westfield pooches have been waiting to hear: Scruffs Dog Show will go ahead this year! After being rained off at the end of last year’s Fun Day, we are determined that this year’s inaugural dog show will go ahead without a hitch. Dogs will be able to enter categories such as waggiest tail and ‘dog most like its owner’. You can find the entry form on Westfield Parish Council website or register on the day. Entry is completely free.

“So get the date in your diary and slap on the sun cream in preparation for a scorcher at Westfield Fun Day on Sunday, 3rd June.”
