FUN and sunshine captured the mood as Bradford played host to a whole raft of outdoor and indoor activities to keep all ages amused.

A wide array of events have been going on all day today including at Bolling Hall Museum where visitors could experience what is was like to be a soldier in training for the First World War at a WW1 Centenary Activity Day.

Young and old were catered for from experiencing a tented encampment with period weapons used by soldiers during the war to learning about life in the trenches.

There was also a re-enactment group, the 5th Battalion Norfolk Regiment, who provided activities, drills and the opportunity to handle period weaponry and equipment.

Organiser Rebecca McGrath, PA to the museum's manager, said: "We have had a fabulous day with the re-enactors from the 5th Battalion Norfolk Regiment providing sign up activities, drills and the opportunity to handle period weaponry and equipment. Inside the hall visitors have been able to view and handle First World War objects and clothing from the Bradford Museums and Galleries collection, as well as making replicas of the tins which were sent to the troops at Christmas time. Elliot Broadfoot delivered an engaging and lively one-man show, ‘The Bolling Hall Varieties’, informing visitors of the changing fortunes of Bradford’s textile industry due to the outbreak of the war."

Bowling Park, which is close to the Hall, was used as a training camp for the Bradford Pals during the First World War, where they prepared for life on the front line. In its time, the encampment would be visible from Bolling Hall.

Also on Saturday, and with a carnival theme, City Park was packed with families for a Big City Play Day with playground and children's activities including a climbing wall, mini-bungee, slides and mud pits.

In the nearby Bradford Independent Quarter, a Spanish-style fiesta was going on.

The temperatures may not have been Iberian and there wasn't a bull in sight, but there was plenty of colour to go with the cacophony as BRADfermin 2016 linked the city to Pamplona, in Navarra, Spain, which is hosting the annual San Germin bull-running festival.

The festival set off from Bradford Brewery with a Chupinazo rocket launch and was followed by a Spanish-themed barbecue and English, Spanish and Latin songs accompanied by a Spanish guitarist.

There will also be the return of the BRADFermin male voice choir, led by Santiago de Laro, to sing traditional San Fermin ballads.

The festival is organised by Bradfordian Sam Causton, who has attended the Pamplona fiesta a number of times with his Spanish partner and co-organiser Veronica Garcia.

In Fairweather Green, St Saviour’s Church, held a garden party with stalls and live entertainment from a Caribbean steel band while Northfield Road playing fields, Wibsey, was the venue of Wibsey Warriors junior fun day with lots of activities including bouncy castle and rugby coaching.

In Frizinghall Community Centre the Shipley Masjid Association held a charity Eid bazaar with a bouncy castle, face painting, henna art work, games and stalls, while Holy Trinity church, in Low Moor, organised a cream tea party at the church. There was also a summer fair at Dixons Trinity Academy and Music Primary School with stalls and games.
