Pop in the Park

-->

On the 7^th – 9^th June the local citizens of March town joined together once again in the park for the annual summer festival. Here you can find a hand-picked selection of the most talented people ranging from rock bands to street dancers and gentle lullabies. The fun-filled event offers three different themed days to suit everybody – Friday is Rock in the Park, Saturday is Pop in the Park and Sunday is the family friendly Picnic in the Park. 

 A lot of organisation goes into the planning process for this event, with more volunteers dedicating their free time each year to see the successful running of the whole weekend. Thanks to the good-willed nature of these volunteers, the event is also able to run for free each year attracting hundreds of people, whether they are young or old. 

 There is also a large variety of food, refreshments and treats available which are provided by external companies. You can find hog roasts, burger vans, ice creams, freshly cooked donuts and the classic ‘fairground style’ sweet stalls. The event is a great place for young children too as the park is filled with rides, bouncy castles and win-a-prize activities to keep them entertained. As an events manager, it is clear that once again an enthusiastic team of organisers have worked hard to organise and run March’s biggest event.
