There was plenty of entertainment for the kids throughout the afternoon with games, prizes, face painting, bouncy castle and dinosaur dig.

The afternoon ball tournament was enjoyed by those participating as well as by a collection of fans.

A horseshoe tournament also took place during the afternoon.

Gymkhana was yet another afternoon event.
