The annual event began on May 15 and we just had to celebrate with a set of fun-filled photos from Wearside’s past.
Get set to be giggling to these scenes of out-of-control pancakes in 2004, a bath of spaghetti in 2009, and the loveliest playmates having fun in the messy play area of Mowbray Park in 2014.
