More than 2,000 people flocked to Brockenhurst College's sports fields for a sun-soaked family fun day.

The event, sponsored by New Forest District Council, took place on Saturday with temperatures reaching 23C and a gentle breeze adding to the pleasant atmosphere.

The fun day offered a wide range of attractions for all ages.

Children enjoyed the bungee trampoline and bouncy castles, while food and drink vendors provided diverse refreshments.

Artisans and charities set up stalls to sell products, explain their work, and accept donations.

Brockenhurst Young Farmers attracted crowds with a vintage tractor display, while Jiggy Wrigglers, an organisation providing sensory experiences for babies and toddlers, was another popular attraction.

The stage was alive with music performances throughout the day.

Student soloists Emerson Poole and Beth Barnes-Waldron, alongside local singer-songwriter Carly Varley, entertained the crowd.

The highlight of the day was Brockenhurst College receptionist Jenaya Wilson, who performed rock classics with her band GTSteel.

She thanked the New Forest District Council for its sponsorship and acknowledged the valuable contribution of student ambassadors and uniformed protective services students, who managed the meet-and-greet operations and logistical tasks.

As well as being an enjoyable day out, the event also served as a reminder of the importance of community spirit and engagement.

The college hopes to continue this tradition and make the family fun day an annual highlight for the community.

The event was described as a success, with people of all ages enjoying the activities and the warm weather.
