Down District Council Vice-Chairman Councillor Gareth Sharvin said at the event: “Down District Council are pleased to support this specialist event under the Community Festivals Sponsorship Scheme. This is the first year of this event and the aim is to build on this event every year. Each event in our District builds on our profile as hosting quality family fun days and I hope that this event will help promote more events in Downpatrick and across our district.
“I am delighted to be here and experience many of the activities offered. The facilities that Downpatrick Cricket Club offers to our district are invaluable and this is shown with the large number of activities on offer today, such as the pony rides, bouncy castles and balloon modelling. This is the first of four events in the coming year and it gives a taste of things to come for everyone in the community.”
