A free family fun day in aid of local children’s charity, CHICKS, will be held at Cornwall Services, at the Victoria Interchange junction on the A30, between 10am and 5pm on Saturday, July 23.

Activities on offer include a Punch and Judy show, ’Clip’n’Climb’, a soft play area, face painting, a fire engine to explore, the RBL Riders Club, the Bird Lady of Fowey with her owls and a visit from CHICKS’ bear mascot, Mas. There are also a huge variety of refreshments available, including from Rowe’s Cornish bakers.

CHICKS is a national charity providing free respite breaks for disadvantaged children from across the UK, including hundreds from many areas of Cornwall. One of their break bases is at Tywardreath. Cornwall Services has provided their venue for a second year running and last year the event raised more than £1,000.

As well as the activities being put on by CHICKS, Indoor Active has also agreed to give £1 from each entry to ’Clip’n’Climb’ and the soft play area to the charity.
