Get ready for a FREE weekend of family fun!

Our Midsummer Party in the Park is back with a bang - this year's celebration promises to be bigger and better than ever! With two days of completely free entertainment for residents and visitors alike, make sure you join us in Lister Gardens for a weekend packed with fun, community spirit and what looks like fantastic summer weather!

What to bring?

  • - A picnic blanket
  • - Your family and friends
