We open with a sign for the event 'Creda Open Day 30 May'. We then see a series of events beginning with running races for children, people throwing balls at a stall, a football shooting game, skittles, a brass band playing and children riding on horse-back. We then go inside a marquee where there are further stalls and end with shots of people on a putting green.
