Party in the Park in photos: Burgess Hill event draws large crowd for triumphant tenth anniversary

Families flocked to the free all-day festival in St John’s Park on Saturday, June 3, which started at 11.30am and ran until 8pm.

The organisers said: “A massive thank you to all of you that came along to our little Party.”

The event, which raised money for the Burgess Hill Lions Club, featured live music from a variety of acts including: Xeo B, Follow the Pink Guitar, Sydney Rutherford, Band Of Dads, Lease Of Life, Cool Britannia, 3 Times 7, Louder Than 10 and Brent Yeomans.

There was an ice cream van too and Burgess Hill Bonfire Society was there to offer a hog roast and barbecue with vegan options. The Burgess Hill 7th Scouts also offered doughnuts and hot drinks.

Organiser Mike Stewart said: “The event is supported by all the bands and musicians entertaining the crows and giving their time for free. A team of volunteers organise the event each year but rely on local companies to support and sponsor the event. This year sponsors included PDP, Stoner’s, George Howes & Sons Plasterers, The Kitchen Fitter, Burgess Hill Junior Football Club, Mascot Roofing and Costain/CMDP.”
