Change of time for Wimblington Fun Day as the mercury is set to rise

Organisers of a popular village fun day have brought the event forward by an hour as temperatures are set to soar this weekend.

Wimblington Fun Day - which is being held on Sunday at the Parkfield - includes the hugely popular children's races.

However, organisers say they have been closely monitoring weather forecasts and have decided changes are in order.

Posting on social media they said: "We have been closely monitoring the weather forecast and as the highest temperatures are looking likely late afternoon, we have taken the decision to move the whole event forward by one hour, so the fund day will now run from 11am to 3pm.

"The revised programme will be posted separately, but the races will happen at 12.45pm so this should be the most comfortable time.

"There will be lots of water involved in them and to let's be honest, they're really about fun, not running fast."

The revised programme for Sunday, all starting at 11am now:

11am Official opening - wandering bubbles / balloons

11.:20 am - Punch & Judy Show

11.45am - The Joker Entertainment Antics Show

12.15am - JezO's magic Show

12.45am - Races!

1.30pm - Punch & Judy Show

1:50 - Raffle draw

2pm - Music from Back Two

As well as all of this, there are inflatables, rides, games, stalls, face painting, a bbq, fresh cookies and an ice cream van and it is free admission.

Don't forget to take a hat and sun cream and enjoy the day. 🙂
