A West Somerset family fun day with a field full of games, activities, and a donations-only BBQ has been hailed a success.
Exmoor Young Voices, winners of the 2024 King’s Award for Voluntary Service, held their first-ever family fun day at the Queen Elizabeth II Playing Field in Exford.
The event offered a free afternoon for local families where children were the main focus.
Activities included face painting, nature crafts, netball, sucker archery, giant jigsaws, welly wanging, and bouncy castle fun.
Children's races were a particular highlight, with some participants crawling to the finish line during the three-legged race.

Parents and grandparents were able to relax with food and refreshments, catch up with friends, and chat with neighbours.
The raffle, with prizes donated by local businesses and organisations, was a hit.
The first lucky winner claimed a larch garden bench donated by Three Atop Woodland Services.
The day brought together Minehead EYE, In the Mix Project, Minehead Rotary Club, Home-Start West Somerset, Dulverton Netball Club, Exmoor Pioneers, Exmoor Youth Board, Exmoor Community Youth Club, Thrive Village Agents, Wild Wellies (Tales & Treasures), and Exmoor Young Farmers.
Exmoor Young Voices thanked Exford Parish Council, the Queen Elizabeth II Playing Field Committee, the Somerset Association of Local Councils, and everyone who contributed to the day.
