Fun festival for Harry Moseley

Hundreds of people enjoyed a fun-filled festival of activities organised in memory of well known fundraiser Harry Moseley.

Merry Hill shopping centre welcomed families to the HarryFest event.

Activities and games took place on the converted car park outside Eat Central at the Brierley Hill mall.

Harry Moseley, who lived in Birmingham, died aged 11 from an incurable brain tumour in 2011.

During his battle with the disease he set up the charity Help Harry Help Others and raised more than £600,000 for cancer research.

His family has continued the work he started and this weekend's event is part of the ongoing fundraising drive.

Youngsters were entertained with a fun fair, a superhero-themed photo booth, live music, dancing, a roller disco, balloon modelling and face painting.

Staff from various stores in the centre also donned fancy dress for the two-day event on Friday and Saturday helping raise money for the Help Harry Help Others charity.

Hairdressers Jessica McKoy, aged 19, from Holly Hall, Dudley, and Jenna Fellows, 27, from Pensnett, Dudley, became superheroes to get in an the fun.

Jessica said: "It is a good event and we love to dress up anyway so we absolutely loved it. We got some strange looks when going to get some food but overall it was great."

Harry'smother Georgie Moseley attended the event with her partner Brian Blackwell who are doing a bike ride as part of a fundraising drive for the charity.

She said: "Harry had such a fun-loving nature, so this is a perfect event to celebrate his legacy as the charity continues to help those on their cancer journey."

It is not the first time Merry Hill has linked with the charity to boost its fundraising efforts. Proceeds from the centre's Christmas Lights switch on ceremony last December were donated to the cause.
