After the absolute success of Southbourne Revival in the summer we stormed forward to organise our Halloween theme family fun day called Frankenfest.

The organising went a lot smoother a quicker, through our new found experience. Music acts booked, children's rides, activities, food and drink stalls, and other traders all ready for the day.

Although we had families coming out to support the event, children in wellies, the wind and rain eventually made us reluctantly call an early close for 4pm.

We felt really disappointed, disappointed for the stall holders who graciously support our endeavours and for the families that didn't get to make it.

There were many families that did come out and had their own little magic show with the three magicians we had lined up. Hearing the laughter does spur us on.

All wasn't lost as two of the music acts ended up playing in a shop on Southbourne Grove. The amazing Chris Payn rocked #SoBo indeed.
