IT was a day of fun at the Picnic in the Park event at Eaton Street complete with raffle prizes, a fun day and top performances.

The Friends of Eaton Street Park, who organised the event, said: “We are a volunteer group who aim to make memories for and with our community. Joanne and Pat work really hard to make the events affordable, therefore accessible to all and we still manage to make a small profit which we reinvest into the park.”

“Over a couple of years as well as paying for lots of seating in the park, we have raised enough to pay for a Music in the Park Event this August, to the tune of around £2,500 which we are all really excited about.”
