Party in the park to end due to lack of volunteers

A community event that has been run for the past seven years will be held for a final time due to a lack of volunteers.

Bromyard Party in the Park, hosted at Kempson playing fields in Herefordshire, started in 2018 to raise funds for the fields and provide a fun day for families.

The event on 3 and 4 May will fill the park with music, street food vendors and a funfair, along with a darts tournament on Saturday evening.

Organisers said on Facebook that the final event would be a "happy day but a sad ending".

"From humble beginnings we brought the community together and raised thousands for the Kempson Playing fields," they said.

World War Two RAF veteran Hugh Langrishe will open the event as it celebrates 80 years of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.

Music will continue until about 23:00 BST on the weekend, featuring local artists including Remi Harris, Darren Beale and Nikki Ivison.

Entry will be free but donations will be welcomed to help upgrade the fields.
