The event – with fancy dress optional - will take place at the Scout hut in Walton Park on Sunday, July 12, between 1pm-3pm.

The cost is £3 per family, which includes tea or coffee and a slice of birthday cake.

A bouncy castle, BBQ, games, face-painting, performances from the current playgroup children and a visit from a fire engine will all feature.

There will also be a raffle, with prizes having been donated from places like Sea Life Centre, Tatton Park, Legoland Discovery Centre, Waterside Arts Centre, Cheshire Ice Cream Farm and JoJo Maman Bebe.
