The sponsors of the Botanic Gardens Family Fun Day in Southport say they are delighted to once again support such “a brilliant family friendly event”.
Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery, on Hoghton Street in Southport town centre, is once again providing a four-figure sum to help ensure the free, family-friendly community event can take place at Botanic Gardens in Churchtown between 10am and 4pm this Sunday (18th June 2023 – Father’s Day).
It is the second year in a row that Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery has supported the attraction.
The local business, owned by Jayne and Tom Hayes, is currently celebrating after being awarded Good ratings in every area after a recent Ofsted inspection.
Manager Kayla Young said: “This is the second year that Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery has sponsored the Botanic Gardens Family Fun Day, we are all really looking forward to it!
“The Family Fun Day organiser, Jess Rickers, spoke to the owners to ask if they would like to support the event again, and they were delighted to be involved.
“It is a brilliant family friendly event at a beautiful local park.
“Sponsorship had a really good outcome for Monkey Puzzle last year.
“We had a lot of interest generated as a result of our involvement. We had a lot of people joining the nursery after seeing all the publicity.
“The owners love to do all they can to support Southport and local community events taking place.
“The Botanic Gardens is a fantastic attraction. Our kids love going there.
“It is a beautiful environment and a lovely place to visit.
“The volunteers there do a magnificent job in maintaining the park to such high standards and they deserve all the support they can get.”
This weekend’s Botanic Gardens Family Fun Day will be even bigger and better than last year, with new attractions adding to what visitors enjoyed last time.
The event is free to attend but people will be welcome to make any donations to the Make A Change For Botanic campaign group, which is working alongside the Botanic Gardens Community Association to make the park a better place for all to enjoy.
Attractions include Allday’s Farm, which will be coming for the first time.
They will be bringing a mobile farm with them so you can get up close and personal with their beautiful animals, which can be petted and fed.
Animals will include a Shetland pony and some rabbits. They are coming for the full day.
