As East Festival Reading Festival drew to a close on Sunday, Hundreds enjoyed the glorious sunshine at a giant family fun day of celebrations.
Young and old flocked to Palmer Park to enjoy live music, fairground rides, clowns, community stalls, a barbecue, sports and circus activities, Bollywood dancing and much, much more.
There were also drumming workshops at The Warehouse in Cumberland Road, and a chance for children to be creative by making masks at Palmer Park library in St Bartholomew’s Road.
There was a opportunity to tour a therapeutic wildlife garden on Sunday at the junction of Hamilton Road and Whiteknights Road where children took part in a nature trail and arts and crafts fun.
The same day also played host to an absolute beginners salsa dance class at The Warehouse where participants were eased through basic routines.
On Friday there was a henna workshop at the Indian Community Centre in Norris Road where visitors had the chance to discover more about the ancient art.
There was also a drama workshop, teddy bears’ picnic and plenty of fun and games aboard the Just Around the Corner bus.
Thursday gave people the chance to try Nordic walking, learn to play a Dhol drum, cake baking classes along with dance workshops and more crafts for children.
Councillor Rob White, representing Park ward, said about Sunday’s main event: “It was a really hot, sunny day with lots of people and lots going on, and a good, positive event for the community.
“There were plenty of smiles on children’s faces and everyone looked like they were having a fantastic and actually fun time.”
