TRADERS in Barnards Green are hosting a big fun morning for their customers on Saturday, September 24.

Fun in the Green, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, is just the first of a series of exciting, family-friendly activities being planned by the traders over the next few months.

The morning will feature a children’s magic show presented by Magic Russ and Dave the Wonder Dog. Dave is a very naughty, cheeky pet, who messes up the tricks and has been known to squirt children in the audience with water.

At the same time there is an opportunity to have a round of crazy golf. Challenge your friends to play a game on the tricky course, and then celebrate with some candy floss.

Jane Knowles, chair of Barnards Green Traders Association, said: "We're really looking forward to offering more family-friendly events that encourage people to visit the Green with its high number of independent quality shops.

"The traders really enjoy contributing to the local community. This year’s events will be raising money for Community Action especially Helping Hands, its new befriending and support network for older and vulnerable Malvern residents."

The Fun in the Green will continue on Saturday, October 29, when there will be a whole range of Halloween activities to enjoy.
