The event is sponsored by Sidmouth’s Emmanuel Baptist Church. Volunteers staff the day, which is underwritten by the church.
Emmanuel Baptist Church leaders have issued a ‘thank you’ to Sidmouth Town Council and Sidmouth Town Football Club for their support.
“The entire town is invited to participate in, and enjoy, the day. We enjoy putting in all the hard work to make a fun event for the town,” added Mr Perkins.
“Lots of the church folk take the whole day, and more, to prepare, operate and dismantle and tidy up. It is a true team effort.”
