PRAY for sunshine as a bumper summer event returns to the area.

This year’s Summer Slam will be held at Russell Park, Long Lane, Bexleyheath, on August 19 from noon until 4pm.

Attractions include inflatables, football skills training with Charlton Athletic coaches, a battle of the bands, dancing displays and a cycle clinic to help you keep your bike in top condition.

Bexley Council cabinet member for community services Councillor Katie Perrior said: “It provides an ideal opportunity, not just for everyone to have fun, but to find out more about what the community has to offer.”

The event has been organised by Bexley's Community Safety Partnership and Charlton Athletic Community Trust.
