Peasedown St John’s 13th Party in the Park festival, held in the village near Bath, has been organised by a local charity, the Peasedown Community Trust.
The event includes an array of stalls and attractions, a dog show, hot food, community stalls and the return of the Peasedown Diamond cider.
Tim Rowland-Jones, Director of Bluebird Care in B&NES, one of this year’s sponsors, said: “The event organisers have been working very hard to ensure this year’s Party in the Park is the best yet with even more attractions, performers and special guests.
“Bluebird Care is always pleased to support events that make a positive impact in the community, which is why we are delighted to be one of the Party in the Park official sponsors.”
Main stage performances will include Original Barn Finds, Peasedown St John Primary School Children, and Kerosene Grace, amongst others.
The stage and entertainment line-up this year is being managed by Reaper Events and Radio Bath.
Independent councillors Gavin Heathcote and Karen Walker, the Party in the Park Festival Managers, commented: “We are hoping to top the last 12 festivals and put on a show never seen before in Peasedown St John.
“The team has worked exceptionally hard this year. We have almost 60 attractions, more than 20 safety personnel signed up to make sure things run smoothly, and have raised £3,000 in sponsorship, which contributes towards the £7,000 event costs we need to host the event.
“The six members of the management team have contributed more than 300 hours of volunteer time to ensure Peasedown’s Party in the Park lives up to its already positive reputation.”
The festival will begin at 11.30am on Saturday 10th June on Beacon Field, with festivities running until 7pm.
Parking is limited around Orchard Way, so people are encouraged to walk or use public transport.
B&NES Council has granted a road closure for French Close for the duration of the event.
