150th Birthday

2024 saw the anniversary of the Park.  The Friends successfully bid for funding the National Lottery to put on a number of events during 2024 to celebrate the birthday.

A sports day in May, family fun days with children’s disco and entertainers in June and August and a birthday party in July, a Halloween event and a Winter Lantern parade.

All  events were well attended with around 1000 people for the birthday event.  Even better, the weather was kind to us and we even had ice-creams in October!

We would like to thank the National Lottery, all our volunteers for supporting these events and all our partners for helping to make these events a great success.
