People are being invited to enjoy a Botanic Gardens Family Fun Day taking place this summer!

The free event takes place at the Botanic Gardens in Churchtown in Southport on Sunday, 19th June, between 10am and 4pm. It is sponsored by Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery.

Visitors can celebrate the grand unveiling of the brand new Botanic Gardens mural at the park, created by local artist Robert Newbiggin.

They can also enjoy a variety of attractions, including: art lessons; art gallery; crafts; music from The Wigan Youth Brass Band; animal visits; a petting area; children’s activities; rides; refreshments; music; and much more besides.

A number of stalls will also be present, with local people or businesses interested encouraged to get in touch while there are some still available.

The event is organised by local community group Make A Change For Botanic, founded by David Rawsthorne, which is determined to raise money to provide vital safety measures and improvements at the historic park.

Fun Day co-organiser Jess Thwaites said: “We now have inflatable rides and slides and zorbs from the fabulous martin at iZorb.

“We have Fancy Faces Southport and Debbie Lyn coming along offering face painting.

“We have Eden Tinsley bringing along her incredible fairy wings at Eden Events

“Joe Hilton from BeastWatch UK is bringing along some ferrets, skunks and turtles for the kids to hold, learn about and stroke.

“I wish we didn’t have to wait until June to show you all our ideas come together but it’s set to be a fantastic day.”

Local radio stations Mighty Radio and Sandgrounder Radio will be broadcasting live from the event.

Anyone keen to take up one of the stalls is invited to get in touch.

Jess Thwaites said: “We have multiple stalls sold to some amazing local businesses. There are now limited stalls available. Please contact me if you are interested.

“We really want this to be an opportunity to celebrate local small business and local charity causes.

“We are looking for a variety of stall holders from local small businesses looking to offer their own unique products.

“We cannot have stalls selling food produce that is available from The Settle Inn. Only food products not available on site already can be sold. Please contact me if you aren’t sure, happy to clarify.

“Any stall holders must bring their own tables, gazebos, stands etc. We are not able to provide anything to assist with this regardless of the weather on the day.

“We have zero waste disposal facilities. Sefton Council has removed the bins during the Covid pandemic and as such all stall holders will be required to take all rubbish away with them.

“A donation of £40 to the Botanic Gardens Community Association would be appreciated from any stalls attending in order to support the event.

“We have a limited number of stalls for no profit local charities and causes. If you wish to have a stall to represent your charity or cause and are able to come along, please contact me. There is no donation required for a charity stall.

“All stall holders will need to contact me please, preferably via Messenger or Facebook until nearer the time. Alternatively call 07894497672.

“If you think you’d like to come along to what is set to be a magical event with plenty to offer the entire family and promote your local small business we cannot wait to hear from you.”

    Also a huge shout out to Andrew Brown for actively offering huge support and spreading the word over the last 10 months.

    To of raised £28,000 since the start of the campaign is simply far more than I could ever of anticipated and the whole Southport community deserves to be rewarded , hopefully this event will be enjoyed by all who attend
