HUNDREDS of youngsters enjoyed bouncy castles, bubble football, and an array of stalls at a family fun day.

The sun shone down on Canvey Football Club, in Park Lane, as local singers took to the stage to entertain the crowds.

Tom Appleton, 31, owner of Huff and Puff Inflatable Hire, organised the event and said it was a great success.

He said: “We had more than 300 kids which was fantastic, and I would like to thank everybody who came along.

“We were very lucky with the weather which was great. We’ve organised this several times in the past, and this one probably had the strongest response in terms of numbers.

“At the moment, we’re working on trying to organise another event towards the back end of August.”
