What a lovely sunny day the Friends of Hunslet Moor had on Sunday (24 August 2025) for their first Family Fun Day funded by Love Leeds Parks.
The day began with the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Cllr Dan Cohen opening the day with a short speech. All sorts of activities were going on with donkey rides, children’s outdoor games area, assorted stalls, DJ, barbecue and refreshments. There was also a visit from Stitch the mascot which the children loved.
One of the organisers, Brenda, said:
“I want to thank the committee and all the volunteers who came to help on the day and of course our local community who came and enjoyed the day. We couldn’t do it without you. We look forward to our next event on Halloween.”
Friends of Hunslet Moor are presently setting up their own website which will be up and running soon. Donations, bookings and tickets for paid events will be able to be bought direct from the website at: www.friendsofhunsletmoor.com
All money that Friends of Hunslet Moor get goes into paying for the next community event or benches, bins and equipment needed for Hunslet Moor.
