QUEENS PARK DAY TOMORROW (SUNDAY) NOON - 5.30PM: SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! FULL PROGRAMME

 


From QPARA

Queen’s Park Day: Sunday 17th September 2023

12 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.

 

This year, as well as all the usual events and stalls to enjoy, QPARA will be celebrating its 50th Birthday in style. Come to the 50th Anniversary tent to see a special exhibition of our achievements in continuing to make Queen’s Park a great place to be. Buy a 50th mug and obtain a copy of our mini-history “50 Years On”.


Queen’s Park Day – fun, friends and food – is the highlight of the year for families from miles around.  Part village fête with makers and bakers, live music and exhilarating arena acts, the day is a full-on celebration of our local community.

 

The complete programme is below. You can download it if that makes reading it easier for you.

We have exhilarating feats of derring-do in the main arena, where we kick off the day with an expanded dog show (with two extra classes). 

 

Our two stages feature local (and not so local) music, dance and performance, with the addition this year of a fabulous sustainable fashion show: handmade, homemade and locally sourced haute couture, modelled on our very own Park runway.

 

Puppet shows, donkey rides, climbing walls and inflatables will keep the youngest folk amused, while a range of 20 street food stalls featuring flavours from round the world ensure no one needs go hungry.

Ever fancied riding a reclining bicycle? You’ll have a chance!

 

Aspiring Bake Off contestants, bring along your zestiest lemon meringue pie to be judged, or let your crafty ingenuity shine in one of our ‘making’ competitions. (Full details on the competitions page.

 

And there will be a smorgasbord of local traders, businesses and services on show among our 120 stalls.

 

Queen’s Park Day is organised by a team of volunteers on behalf of QPARA. Big thanks to all who 

support us and make it possible to keep the day free and inclusive. Blue skies!
