FAMILIES enjoyed a sun-soaked day of fun and entertainment at the Big Lunch event at John Leigh Park in Altrincham.

Dave Jolley, from the Friends of John Leigh Park, said of the get together on June 5: "We enjoyed a fabulous day of sunshine, friendship, competition and entertainment."

Now organisers are gearing up for the park's Dog's Delight event from 2pm to 4pm on June 25 - billed as an afternoon of fun and learning with Altrincham and District Dog Training Society and the Friends of John Leigh Park.

There will be handlers at the event to give dog training pointers to children and young people, team games, and a dog training display.

Other attractions include dog shows, a treasure hunt, team games, and 'name the dog' and 'guess the weight of the toy dog' competitions.
