What a fantastic afternoon.

Southend City & Hadleigh Castle hosted over 100 Ukrainians at the Holiday Inn, Southend for a Ukrainian Easter & St Georges Day Celebration Tea Party.

The children had a great time with Vicky at Messy Play whilst we were entertained by Adrian Fox magician, Sharon Vane Face Painter, and Salvo the Clown with his balloons.

A superb spread by the Holiday Inn and a great time was had by all.

Thank you very much for the event today! It was very nice, active, fun and full of activities! My children loved it! On our way home they could not stop talking about the magician, and their beautifully painted faces amazed people on the street. Children are happy as well as their parents! Thank you again for the great event. Best regards to the ornanizers.
