Families will be flocking to Burnham-On-Sea’s BASC Sports Ground in Stoddens Road today, Wednesday 26th August, when a Mega Mascot Fun Day & Car Boot Sale is held.
The family fun event runs from 11am until 4pm, with dozens of stalls, attractions and kids activities planned to keep families entertained.
Organiser Paul Goodyer says visitors will find a mix of fun fair rides, children’s inflatables, stalls, games and local traders spread across the fields, alongside a large car boot sale offering everything from household bargains to vintage finds.
Food lovers will be well catered for too, with hot food, barista coffees, cakes, sweets, donuts, cold drinks and an ice cream van trading throughout the day.
Paul says the event has been planned as an affordable day out for families, with accompanied children under 14 admitted free and adults paying £5 on the gate.
A wide range of free entertainment and free ‘have‑a‑go’ activities will run continuously, and there is free onsite parking for those travelling in.
A full day of free family entertainment is planned, with Special Occasion Mascots appearing throughout the event. Stitch and Angel will appear from 11am to 11.30am, followed by Paw Patrol at midday until 12.30pm. The K‑Pop characters take their turn from 1pm to 1.30pm, with SpongeBob SquarePants arriving between 2pm and 2.30pm, and Bluey and Bingo rounding off the main programme from 3pm to 3.30pm. Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee will also be making special appearances at 12pm, 2pm and 3.30pm, giving families several chances to meet the popular Transformers characters.
The team behind the event say they “can’t wait to welcome everyone” and are encouraging attendees to arrive early to make the most of the attractions. For safety reasons, no dogs are permitted on site.
