MUSIC was in the air at Chadderton family fun day and fundraiser on Saturday.
The Music in the Park event at Foxdenton Park featured Bollywood and street dance, graffiti art and African drumming alongside live music.
Despite the weather, families came in droves to enjoy the entertainment and ice cream on offer and support the Chadderton Together Save Foxdenton Hall campaign.
Money raised on the day will go towards helping to restore and refurbish the historic Foxdenton Hall in the park.
The community campaign aims to see the 300-year-old building restored to its former glory after it fell into disrepair after closing to the public several years ago.
Foxdenton Hall is the only Grade II*-listed building in Chadderton and has previously been described as the "jewel of Foxdenton Park" by many people.
