There was plenty of fun for children.

Dawley Day is an opportunity for children and families to enjoy free attractions and experiences despite the pressures of the current cost-of-living crisis.

Councillor Lyndsey Parker (Lab) for Dawley & Aqueduct Borough Ward said: "This is another way we are supporting our families and young people to have days out and experiences despite the cost-of-living crisis.

"Every year this event is supported by local businesses who have a range of special offers for the day."
