Preparations are well underway for the annual South Park Family Fun Day in Bootle.

Each year Sefton Council and its partners host the South Park Family Fun Day, and this year it takes place on Thursday August 22 from 12pm until 4pm.

The day will include a live DJ, inflatable games, bike marking, face painting, go karts, horse rides, bouncy castles and much more.

The family fun day is a popular event in the local calendar and attracts hundreds of families each year to the beautiful park on Balliol Road.

The event is free to attend with activities starting from 12pm.

Be sure to bring a picnic and make it an afternoon of fun.
