A celebration of music, sound and colour will take over a town park on Saturday 9th August with an unprecedented gathering of performers.
The summer event, at Wyndham Park in Grantham, will welcome street entertainers of all kinds, from musicians and performers to displays and demonstrations.
The hope is that the gathering will become a regular part of the town’s cultural calendar.
Busking spots must be booked in advance by contacting South Kesteven District Council’s Parks and Events Community Engagement Officer Alison Lewis by email at alison.lewis@southkesteven.gov.uk for an application form. Limited slots mean a waiting list may need to be compiled.
Alison said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming a wide range of musicians and performers who can provide a fun experience for everyone visiting our award-winning park. From the interest shown so far, we’re already guaranteed to be captivated by the melodies, dazzled by performances and swept away by the energy of the event!
“This experience is the result of public demand and is also something called for in our regular surveys of what people would like to see in Wyndham Park.
“The atmosphere at our regular events here is always amazing and we know people really appreciate live music and the way it lifts the mood and makes for a more enjoyable day out.
“With Grantham Market also booming, it’s another reason to add the town to every family’s list for a great day out.
“So, hold the date of Saturday, 9th August, get busking on your calendars and come along!”
Wyndham Park Café will also be open on the day and other features, such as the family Splash Pool, are also expected to be open. Limited parking is available on-site, although the park is just a short walk from Grantham town centre.
There are also tennis courts, an urban gym, picnic tables, a safe off-lead dog exercise area and grassland set aside for a peaceful orchard setting.
Busking spots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so performers should respond early.
