A charity that helps carers of all ages will host a traditional fete in Douglas later this month.
Taking place at Masham Court on Victoria Road from midday on Sunday, July 26, the staff, volunteers and friends of Crossroads Care will entertain the public with a host of activities.
To launch a new campaign to raise funds for a much needed minibus, the charity’s Young Carers have filled their old bus with balloons and are challenging the public to guess how many were required.
The fete will boast stalls, a lucky dip, nail and face painting and traditional acitivities including a coconut shy and tin can alley, while local crafters have created all manner of quilted and felted items that will be on sale. They’ll also be offering handicraft lessons.
The public will be voting with their spare change to decide the winner of the best decorated cake competition – the cake that’s raised the most money by 4pm will be declared the winner.
Meanwhile a giant inflatable fire engine slide will be in the Crossroads Nursery playground to entertain the youngsters.
Entry will be free but visitors are asked to use the nearest public car park in Noble’s Park. Only disabled parking will be available at Masham Court. For more information visit www.crossroadsiom.org or call 673103.
