Crown Pier will host Children's Zone on Liberation Day
Families celebrating Guernsey’s 80th Liberation Day can look forward to a packed schedule of fun at the Children's Zone on Crown Pier, thanks to the support of Waitrose.
The Children’s Zone will feature a crafts and tea tent, run by Trinity Church, alongside an arts area, climbing wall, skateboarding, bubble shows, games, princess appearances, face painting, hair braiding, and biscuit decorating.
The centrepiece of Crown Pier will be a vintage fair. Downs Steam Fair was founded in 1935 but their involvement with fairgrounds dates back to 1850. They are bringing three of their classic rides, a chair-o-plane, helter-skelter and carousel along with their Austin cars ride.
Tea and coffee, provided by Trinity Church, will be available on the pier with a seating area and there will be a small buggy park.
Pedro Gamerio, Branch Manager of Waitrose Admiral Park, said: ‘Our engagement with the community is particularly important to us and the Children’s Zone was an obvious fit to support this Liberation Day. Crown Pier will offer a safe and relaxed spot for families to have fun with their children completely free of charge. From creative activities to classic fairground rides, there is something for everyone to enjoy across all ages.’
Deputy Sue Aldwell, Committee for Education, Sport and Culture, said: ‘Liberation Day is a special time for the community, and the Children’s Zone will be a fantastic space for families to celebrate together.
‘Thanks to Waitrose’s support, we’ve been able to offer a great mix of activities that will keep children entertained throughout the event in a safe environment.’
In addition to the activity on the Crown Pier, The Dance Zone will feature the Majorettes at 12pm, Ace Cheerleaders at 1pm, B Creative Street Dance at 4pm and Rebellion All Stars at 5pm.
The new Youth Commission venture ‘The Bus Stop’ will be parked at the bus terminus with activities for teenagers available, including traditional games, video games and refreshments.
