Summer Fun Day and Mini-Beer Festival - Sunday 6th July

The Summer Fun Day is the key event of the Friends of Challoner calendar.

The event is for all Friends, from pupils to parents past and present and future, the Alumni to the broader local Community.

The Fun Day is filled with lots of activities for Friends of all ages!  Tombola, Inflatables, live DJ, Singers and Musicians. We always have great refreshments including a fantastic BBQ, ice creams, cake and a bar.  This year we are holding a dog show too so bring your pups and pooches along for the day!

We always have great support from parents and local businesses and shops, who provide fabulous donations which are given as prizes for any competitions and for the raffle.

The day is always lots of fun for all ages and raises a fantastic amount of money which enables new purchases for the school, such as minibuses, enhancements to classrooms, sports and arts facilities.

Hope to see you there!
