Attractions at that year's Family Day included; hot air balloon rides, helicopter rides, a bouncy castle and fairground rides, stalls, an 'It's a Knockout' style competition and tennis and six-a-side football tournaments. Cast members from Eastenders made a guest appearance and entered a side in the football competition.
