Michelle's Sports Day

Danson Park, Welling, is the setting for a quintessential sports day featuring egg and spoon, sack and parents race.

Views over Danson Lake open this account of a local primary school event, which took place within view of the Georgian Grade I listed building, Danson House. Races, lovely examples of children's clothing from the era and many enjoyable scenes –the ultra competitive parents race is not to be missed – make up this splendid amateur film.
