Kevin Walsh
It’s the biggest turn out that I’ve seen for one of these events. It’s important because it gets people outside. It’s gets people interacting with animals. It gets people interacting with plants. It would have been a crying shame if this had closed down.

Today has been really lovely. My two year old has been free and enjoyed it all. My little boy loved the music.
