Jester and Wizard conjure up Spring Fun in Prestatyn

Jay and Erwyd were in the local news again this week, after performing at the Spring Fun Days in Prestatyn.

Spring Fun was the first event organised by new events coordinator at Prestatyn Town Council, Kimberley Edmunds.

Kimberley said: “Everyone had an extremely fun filled time. People travelled from outside the area as well as coming from within the town due to the fact that the event took place towards the end of the school holiday rather than the main Easter weekend when there is a lot of competition for activities to get involved with.

It was lovely seeing families working together to solve the treasure hunt and seeing the joy on the faces when they solved the clues to create a word and win their prizes.

“The street shows and walkabout entertainment provided by Erywd Le Fol and Jay Gatling was hugely successful. Many families returned for the second day of the event just to see them perform again.”

Jay, a Llandudno based magician, received news of his prestigious title this week and swiftly tweeted images of his new wizarding robes.

He said: “I couldn’t believe it. The news came completely out of the blue.
