Greenfields Primary School, in Shrewsbury, will be holding its annual Summer Fair on July 8 and the whole community is invited.

There will be seaside games, craft stalls, go karts and pony rides - as well as traditional seaside food and sweet treats, and live music.

Andrew Morris, Greenfields Primary School headteacher, said: "I am looking forward to our seaside-themed Summer Fair this year. I hope that all the children are able to come and throw a wet sponge at me - as this has become a tradition. The Greenfields School Association has worked very hard to put on this event - and we are hoping that the community will come and support us. It promises to be a fantastic day."

The fair will be held at the school in Hemsworth Way, just off Ellesmere Road; and is being held to raise money for the school via the Greenfields School Association.

The gates open at 1.30pm - with Punch & Judy shows at 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm.
