It’s nearly June so it must be time for Chillfest our ever-popular festival for children, families and friends! This year it’s the return of the pirate theme, so rummage in your treasure chests and dust down your pirate finery, ready to join us at Snapdragons Weston on Saturday 18th June, 1.00-4.00pm.

Coming up at this year's event, we've got live music with the wonderful Jamma de Samba, a bouncy castle, raffle, tombolas, shack building with Tim Graham, delicious piratey food on our barbecue, plank walking, pirate treasure hunts and... the big one... the return of the Father's Day 'Tug of War’! We want as many dads as possible, so please come along and join in!

Chillfest is a fundraising event and this year’s charity is Teenage Cancer Trust in honour of Abbie Dougherty, Head of Babies at Snapdragons Weston. As many of you will know, Abbie has recently been given the devastating news that her cancer has returned and treatment is not possible. Abbie joined us as an apprentice nearly four years and has been a wonderful, passionate and popular member of our team, loved by colleagues, babies and parents alike. Please help us to make this year’s Chillfest the busiest ever so that we can honour Abbie’s wishes and help other young people with cancer through the work of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
