STREETS were lined with guests and spectators for a town's 'well-being' event this weekend.

Holywell and District Transition Group held the first ever 'HolyWell-Being' event in the town's High Street on Saturday.

Dozens gathered to browse at various stalls, including Shine Charity, North Wales Community Health Council, Macmillan, Puddleducks, Weight Watchers and Amethyst Auras Angelic Hypnotherapy and Healing.

Holywell Leisure Centre was also rife with visitors enjoying the various gaming events in the sports hall, including Kung Fu, wheelchair rugby, indoor bowls, one-to-one football coaching, and spin bikes.

David Hanson MP said he was proud to open the new disabled changing rooms at the Leisure Centre, and that he thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many constituents enjoying the stalls and sunshine.

A choir and entertainer also provided guests with music.

Tower Gardens was also the location of Ukanuni Circus and Tai Chi, while Greenfield Valley boasted a game of countryside croquet in the afternoon.

The event was arranged to promote the health and well-being of residents, as well as welcoming guests to the High Street, which has been recently decorated with plants, as well as "regenerating" Holywell, Cllr Paul Johnson said.

Cllr Lynda Carter, community champion for Holywell's Tesco store, was on-hand to give some healthy eating advice.

Cllr Carter said: "I'm making people aware of their sugar content by making them guess with sugar lumps how any grams of sugar they should have a day. We are also demonstrating healthy eating breakfasts, as many think some cereals have little sugar in them."

Paula Williams, of the Holywell Transition Group, was showing children how eating five a day could be made "more interesting and appealing" through juicing methods.

Life-saving demonstrations were being given by the Holywell division of St John Ambulance Cymru, who had an ambulance and volunteers on site to answer questions.

Bethan Hall, mother of Luke Hall, aged 12, who was being given CPR advice by one volunteer said: "It's fabulous to see so many people here. We've had a good day, and Luke has learnt a lot."

Volunteer Collette Stanford said: "It's been very busy, we've had quite a lot of people visit us. There are lots of children here who enjoyed it, and it's good to teach them life-saving techniques at a young age."

Members of Holywell Evangelical Church, on Halkyn Road, were handing out free bibles to promote the scripture, as well as distributing free children's books to promote reading.

Congregation volunteers Patrick Bailey and Dylan Jones attended the stall, and welcomed people to the church during service. They also encouraged residents to donate unwanted books, and for people to consider offering a lift or pick-up service for those who can't reach the church.
