Fire eating, duck racing and enjoying samba beats are just a selection fun family activities lined up for Webbs of Wychbold's annual Garden Party on Sunday, July 10.

Thousands are expected to throng to the free annual event, which is a highlight of the Worcester Road centre's summer calendar and will be held in the Webbs Riverside Gardens on the Salwarpe.

Professor Pepperpot and his balloon magic will also be making an appearance.

Bromsgrove samba band 'Someone at the Door' will provide a funky musical backdrop to the party, which runs from 11am - 4pm.

There will be small charge for face-painting and children's fair rides but admission is free.

A mouth-watering food festival will see around 20 top producers showing off their tasty fare.

Webbs managing director, Ed Webb, said: "Last year's event was a huge success. There's lots to see and do for all ages.

"It's a great free day out. There is plenty of space and we hope that lots of people will turn up."
