On a bright sunny day on the second Saturday in September Golden Hill Sports held their annual Party in the Park’on the playing fields at Golden Hill.
Encouraged by the forecast of dry, warm weather for once large numbers of people turned up to enjoy all what was on offer. This ranged from live music, fair ground rides, a series of demonstrations, a circus entertainer, bouncy castles, a shopping village, numerous stalls plus traditional entertainment such as tractor/trailer rides, a coconut shy, wet sponge stocks, tug-of-war contests, horsey hoppers, a football challenge and much, much more catering for all tastes and all age groups.
Food and drink was available all day from the in-house bar, barbecue, curry and cake, tea and coffee stalls along with vendors selling Caribbean, Italian & Tibetan style snacks & meals, speciality coffee and milkshakes.
Music was provided by a variety of groups playing on stage, a procession of the ground followed by a static set by the Bristol Samba Band plus a welcome return by the Keynsham Brass Band. The draw for the raffle prizes donated by local businesses took place during the late afternoon and when darkness fell the event was brought to a close by a spectacular firework display.
The organisers would like to thank everyone who attended Party in the Park this year for their support as well as all the volunteers who helped to run the event from start to finish.
