BUSINESSES and volunteer groups across Colwyn Bay and beyond have teamed up to support children at St Joseph's Primary School hosting their summer fair.

Some of the Bay's favourite hotspots, including Virgilio's restaurant and the Botanical Lounge, have donated raffle prizes for the fair presented by the Brackley Avenue school and St Joseph's church.

The fair will be held on June 30 from 11am-3pm on Rydal field, opposite the school and church.

It will be opened by Cllr Ricki Owen and Delia Owen, the mayor and mayoress of Colwyn Bay.

Funds raised from the fun day, which will feature a free bouncy castle as well as traditional games such as hook-a-duck, a coconut shy and much more, will help pay for the schoolchildren to enjoy extracurricular trips, as well as equipment to enrich students' learning, such as robotics gadgetry and improvements to outdoor learning areas.

It will also support the work of St Joseph's Church in the parish.

"It really shows the strength of the community here in Colwyn Bay and beyond, to see all these businesses and volunteers coming together for another wonderful summer fair," said Nicola Cooper, one of the school's governors.

"We're delighted and grateful for the support we've received."

Among the raffle prizes on offer are a champagne afternoon tea at Harvey Nichols, as well as days out at Zip World, Bodnant Gardens and Penrhyn Castle, and a private tour of the RNLI boathouse in Llandudno.

The top prize is £100 in cash, and tickets are available at the event until 2pm.

Providing a soundtrack for the fun will be the Tenovus Cancer Care choir, the Choir for Good and St Joseph's School Choir in full voice, while performances from the Linzie Grace dance school, line dancers and the Rachel Arnison will also take place.

"We've got games, plant stalls, welly-wanging, bouncy castles, books, toys, and hopefully some sunshine," said James Brownsell, St Joseph's PTA chair.

"We're making a song and dance of it. We're firing up the barbecues. All that's left is for everyone to come out on Sunday and enjoy a great day of family fun!"

Past fairs have paid for the school's library refurbishment and a new range of books designed on a reading programme helping youngsters to read for pleasure and develop crucial life skills for the future.
