A show of force by the community of Littlehampton

MEMORIES of a Town Show and Family Fun Day under threat of separation were well and truly washed away as the event kicked-off once again in Littlehampton, on Saturday (September 14).

Last year, concerns were raised over the possible splitting of the town show and the fun day – a partnership which had successfully endured for more than a decade.

But as this year’s bonanza launched, the only concern remaining for revellers was the light drizzle of rain and grey clouds looming above which, although threatening, never dampened proceedings.

Organised by the Littlehampton Town Council in conjunction with businesses and community groups in the area, the day attracted more than 3,000 people.

Littlehampton mayor Joyce Bowyer hailed the strength of community in the town for supporting the afternoon, held at Rosemead Open Space.

Cllr Bowyer said: “The weather was not as good this year but it wasn’t really raining it was just a bit damp and a little cold. We still had a few thousand people turn up and there was lots to do and to see.

“I think Littlehampton has got a real community and it’s shown that by the events we put on and the amount of people that turn up.
