AROUND 200 people braved wet weather to soak up the fun of a giant water slide.

The 500ft beast took over Hereford Board and Bike Park in Tillington on Saturday.

The giant inflatable slide is similar to the one which was constructed in Bristol in 2014 – although this one was bigger.

The event was originally planned for last year but event organisers, XS Events, said it was unable to go ahead.

George Lawton, from XS Events, said this week: "It went well, I think everybody was happy.

"It rained all day and the weather was horrible but everybody had good fun."

He said there are plans to bring the attraction to the county once again next year.
