A FAMILY fun day which was cancelled due to gales has been rearranged for August 31.

The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust, based in Millington near Lymm, was due to hold the open day in June but organisers were forced to call it off because of the foul weather.

Helen Crowther, fundraiser, said: “It was such a tough decision, but one which had to be made – we’ve never cancelled an event before. “We arrived on Sunday morning at 7am to set up for this huge event, to find the freak weather conditions had not only brought down our marquees and gazebos but also several branches from our trees. “The whole thing has left us all really downhearted, it was heart-breaking having to turn away cars full of disappointed families.”

However the charity is determined to make sure the event goes ahead later in the year and is hoping business leaders can help pay some of the £2,000 costs.
