We have been lucky enough to be awarded a Community Celebration Event and we thought why not here. We regularly use this park to hold our events, they are normally the required 30 minutes duration but for this event the requirement is for a 2 hours duration. Off course there's no need for anyone to stay for the whole event, you visit and stay as long as want. In the past the events have been well supported but due to it being July we are unsure of numbers so we are looking forward to the will attend logs.
Please note this an extract from the council's own website.
