On Sunday 18th August the extremely well received ‘Picnic in the Park 2024’ was held at Memorial Park, Great Harwood!
The event was a joint effort between The PROSPECTS Foundation, The Friends of Memorial Park (FOMP), Proffitts CIC, and Hyndburn Borough Council.
Attendees enjoyed a lovely afternoon’s picnic on the freshly mown grass, with food provided by Brie Mine, La Bella Mozzarella, Mrs Dowsons, and D.C. Coffee
While everyone tucked into their picnic, they also enjoyed a delightful performance from J.R. Frozen and a nostalgic tribute from Stacksteads Brass Band. Mary Speight also offered some artful face painting for festival goers to get into the mood!
It wasn’t all picnics and performances though! Attendees also explored the park, with FOMP setting up a family-fun treasure hunt with a special prize draw at the end, PROSPECTS set up a ‘taster forest school’ activity and a bug hunting session at Snowdrop Corner.
The weather held wonderfully all day for us, with there being only a few minutes of worrying rain, but afterwards it was sunshine all around!
Thank you to everyone who attended the event, your presence made the day as wonderful as it was!
