Yapton packed with fun and games for all

The event had something for all generations, with pensioners from Warmere Court care home, in Downview Way, being treated to a musical show performed by children, to toddlers and parents enjoying a teddy bear picnic.

This year marked the 22nd holiday club to be organised and held by Yapton Free Church and St Mary’s Church with activities running from Monday to Friday.

Barry Pickthall, 65, who attended the week, said: “The event was a huge success, there was a real feel good factor right the way through from the children to the parents. It was fantastic to see people who came to the event as children 20 years ago coming back with their own children.”
