Students’ Union annual fun day this Sunday

LOUGHBOROUGH Students’ Union will be holding its annual Community Fun Day this Sunday (May 20) - and everyone is invited to come along and enjoy animals, crafts, games and more.

The free event will take place from noon to 4pm and has an exciting programme of fun activities suitable for all the family.

There will be face painting, a bouncy castle, bracelet making, balloon modelling and a small fun fair on offer plus Nottinghamshire’s popular White Post Farm will be in attendance with some of their furry friends.

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service’s fire engine is also back by popular demand, as are traditional garden fete games such as the Coconut Shy, which will be available for a small charge.

Some of the union’s societies will also be keeping audiences entertained at the fun day - whether it is practising circus skills with LSU Fever, watching shows by the Stage Society or enjoying a performance from the Hum Hey Hindustani dancers, there will be something for everyone.

The afternoon will be held on the lawns outside the Students’ Union and the Hazlerigg and Rutland buildings (weather permitting), which can be accessed via Epinal Way.

In the case of poor weather conditions, the event will take place inside the Students’ Union.

Anna Milewska, Loughborough Students’ Union action executive officer, said: “Every year, the Community Fun Day is run by our dedicated student volunteers who help to plan and organise the event from beginning to end.

“The day is a fantastic event for both students and families in the local community to come together and have fun.”
