SUMMER temperatures saw thousands of people heading along to Farnham Town Council’s Spring Festival on Sunday, May 27.

The free event which was sponsored by Kidd Rapinet Solicitors, Trueman and Grundy and Momo Station included a programme of activity suitable for the whole family.

There was sumo wrestling and Japanese drumming for the energetic, pop-up craft for those who wanted to be creative, plenty of stalls for shoppers to browse and food and drink for the adults.

Alongside the activities, live music was played throughout the whole afternoon.

Jill Hargreaves, Farnham Town Council’s lead member for tourism and events, said: “The Spring Festival was a great success and was a wonderful start to our summer programme of events.

“While the hotter than average temperatures led to most people reaching for their sunscreen, Farnham Town Clerk, Iain Lynch, was left scrabbling for his towel after receiving a drenching in the charity stocks – I suspect the Scouts raised quite a lot of money as there appeared to be quite a queue of people wanting to have a go!”
