Party in Egerton Park

This used to be known as Green Day and is the annual fun event organised by Friends of Egerton Park for local families, groups and organisations.

Party In The Park will start at 11am and entrance is free.

It runs until 3pm and visitors will enjoy a day of activity, play, food and entertainment aimed at all ages.

This year the event is celebrating the Olympics 2012 and para-Olympic games.

Children from five Bexhill schools - Chantry primary school, King Offa, Sidley, St Mary’s school in Wrestwood Road, and Bexhill High - will parade around the park, enter the green from four sides and place a replica Olympic torch in the centre.

Their parade will be accompanied by music from local bands who will play throughout the day.

Organiser Marcia Linden said: “Thanks to Radiator Artists Mary Hooper and Jane Bruce, Rother’s Arts Development Peter Quinnell and Donna Hall, you will have the opportunity to attend themed sculpture and art workshops for all ages and the finished pieces will be displayed in the Park.

“The Lions will be providing a very tasty barbecue, Stuart Earl is supplying a selection of his mouth-watering cakes, plus a choice of other refreshments.

“All the usual attractions will be there, including bespoke jewellery, and button craft.”

An added attraction will be personal trainer Emma Rogers who will giving a demonstration and leading volunteers through some of her exercise, plus taster sessions of tennis and outdoor bowls, so visitors are recommended to bring their trainers.

For younger ones there will be Punch and Judy as well as face painting from Rother Childrens’ Services.

The event will include a wide range of stalls to browse through - if anyone would like a stall please contact Marcia on 01424 731006.
