P&F Father’s Day Fun

What a celebration! Over 270 dads, special friends and kids joined us for our Father’s Day morning, serving up classic games and backyard fun with an accompanying pastry and coffee. We enjoyed fold and fly paper airplane challenges, hopper races, parachute and basketball games and much more. We also were lucky to have a portrait studio to capture special photos of kids and their special adult  – thanks to Ofer Levy. It was great to see so much lovely interaction between parents, kids and friends.

Then our children moved on to yet another fantastic Father’s Day stall full of incredible gifts including charity voucher supporting Dalwood Spilstead. These gifts will no doubt be enjoyed next week on Father’s Day Morning.

Portraits by Ofer Levy will be shared next week via an email with a link to download images.
