In July we hosted our first community fair on the lawns in the southern section of the park. We were delighted to welcome so many people to the park, who, undeterred by some summer rain, got to enjoy over 30 stalls from local community groups, workshops, children’s activities, street theatre and live performances.
There were also talks and walks about the park’s history, monuments and trees hosted by local experts and we shared the plans and proposals for the future of the park and people had the chance to share their feedback.
The community fair was a real taste of what’s to come in Victoria Park if our bid for funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund is successful.
