Leighton-Linslade High Street hosted the Wild West Big Lunch Event organised by the Leighton-Linslade Town Council. The event was a great success with visitors from Leighton Buzzard & surrounding areas flocking to the High Street to experience ferret racing, swing boat rides, fun casinos, photobooth, cowboy entertainment and a variety of food stalls from Fish & Chips, Chinese, Caribbean & Thai.
Gill Miller, events manager at Leighton-Linslade Town Council, said: “We are delighted so many people turned out, I think the weather certainly helped and around 2,500 people attended so it was a good turnout.
There was so much for people to do and it created a wonderful atmosphere for residents in the town centre. It was packed on several occasions with people bringing food and picnics and just sitting under the parasol, it created a really nice feeling about the place. It was national The Big Lunch day across the country so we wanted to be part of that and really create a community spirit which I think is shown by the amazing turnout.”
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who visited our photobooth and got their themed photos shot.
