Thousands of people turn out to enjoy Bridlington Lions Carnival Fun Day and support good causes
Thousands of people turned out on Sunday (August 7) to enjoy the extravaganza that was the Bridlington Lions Carnival Fun Day.
Locals and visitors alike converged on Sewerby Fields to enjoy the entertainment on offer as the club’s members hailed the response.
Members were hoping the fun day would be the best yet as they looked to raise funds for local causes, and despite the weather looking a little unsettled early on, the sun came out and people flocked to the event.
The popular charity fundraiser hosted a variety of stalls, children’s rides and bouncy castles along with a range of refreshments and lots of different activities.
The main stage, hosted by Bridlington Gold Radio, saw popular band the Sticklebricks perform classic hits to keep the crowds entertained.
There was also a well-attended car boot sale, while the classic car gathering provided people with plenty of nostalgic travel memories.
A number of charity stalls at the event had the chance to raise funds by holding raffles, tombolas and even a hoopla challenge.
A Bridlington Lions spokesperson said: “The Carnival Fun Day has been fantastic, a wonderful success.
“We were a little concerned regarding the weather early on in the day before we started but the sun came out and people turned out in their thousands.
“We would like to thank everyone who turned out on the day and visited the various stalls to support the local charities.
“Everywhere on Sewerby Fields was very busy and we would like to thank the individuals and businesses that made this day so successful.”
