Galhampton Party in the Park 2009 – Saturday July 11th
Last year a very happy crowd enjoyed good weather and some excellent performances. This year promises to be even better with eight great bands, a broad range of hot and cold food, plenty of choice at the bar and all at very reasonable prices. The children’s activity tent will be there again as will the friendly, relaxed atmosphere that has made Party in the Park so popular.
Tickets are the same price as last year at just £15 and are on sale now. For more details and to buy tickets visit the website at www.galhampton.com. All proceeds will again go to the village charity.
