Filham Fun Day - Sat 4th July
Filham Funday was first organised in 2003 by the Lions club of Ivybridge in order to provide a fun day for the residents of Ivybridge and surrounding areas and raise funds for some local beneficiaries. The idea of the day is to have Fun! Yes, even the organisers have fun! Over the last 4 years over £4000 has been raised by Filham Funday.
Activities and live performers keep the crowds entertained throughout the day and the whole event is a great day out for the family, with many things to see and do right up until the closing time.
Filham Funday is the biggest event of the year organised by the Lions club of Ivybridgeand is on Saturday 4th July 2009 from 12:00 noon. There's a map and event details on their web site at www.filhamfunday.co.uk.
