“We always try to have something for all age groups, women, girls and children, everyone had a lot of fun at the event.
“The event was great, it was a chance for the community to gather, socialise, shop, break their fast, enjoy and we were all so pleased to see all that.”
It consisted of traditional dresses for women and children, jewelleries, bags, henna, face painting, lolly bags, toys, street food, variety of sweets and snacks.
Participants were able to break their fast at the event and some came down afterwards with their friends and families.
