Visitors to the first ever Frodsham Show got the chance to dunk a local councillor and bank manager.

Frodsham Manor House Primary School hosted the free event, organised by the school’s parent teacher association (PTA), on Sunday, May 18.

Weaver Vale MP Graham Evans opened the show, which featured bouncy castles, welly wanging, craft stalls, a sponsored toddle, tombolas and live performances by community groups such as Chester’s Karamba Samba band.

The show – which was  attended by more than 1,000 people - replaced the annual summer fair, as the PTA wanted to host a more community focused event.

An exhibition hall showcased the entries for competitions such as best bee-themed cake, best bread and best junk  model.
