Professor Starlite showed families what free fun was all about in West Ham Park last Friday when he brought along a real bunny to meet children.

He entertained crowds with his magic tricks and balloon skills in the penultimate show in a series of summer events at The Bandstand.

Alderman Bob Hall, Chairman of the City of London Committee responsible for the park, said: “This summer we have put together a series of free, fun-filled family events, which will give children and parents an opportunity to meet a variety of fun characters in the beautiful surroundings of West Ham Park.”

The next event will be on Monday September 5 featuring magic and balloons from Gordon Drayson.

No bookings are necessary, just pack a picnic and turn up.
