  • ​Party in the Park Postponed until 2027. We would like to let residents know that we will not be going ahead with the Party/Picnic in the Park event this year. Unfortunately, we do not have enough volunteers available to organise it and the timing clashes with several other local and national events.​ We are hoping to organise a Picnic in the Park event in 2027. To make this possible, we will need support from local residents — to help plan the event, to assist on the day and with fundraising.​ We are very sorry for any disappointment this may cause, but given the circumstances, postponing is the only realistic option for this year.  Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to working with the community to bring the event back in 2027!
