Pittville Park Fun Day to Celebrate Citizen's Day

19 October 2008, 11am - 4pm

A Citizens' Day provides an opportunity to celebrate local achievements, to build and renew community cohesion, and to develop greater local engagement.

A free fun day to celebrate Citizen's Day in Cheltenham is being held at Pittville Pump Room and park on Sunday 19 October 2008. MP Martin Horwood, Deputy mayor, Cllr Lloyd Surgenor and Cheltenham Borough Council’s Chief Executive, Andrew North, will formally open the event at 12.30pm. From 11am to 4pm, a series of interesting and spectacular events will entertain visitors, from dance to story telling, music from local bands and a Wii room for good measure. Entrance is free and everyone is invited to come along.

The line up includes live music from Vince Freeman, Peter Gill and Friends and Explosive Nzakomba, as well as the Coady Crew, Chinese Lion dancing, capoeira, belly dancing, bangra dancing and a gamelan demonstration. Story tellers, insect man, a birds of prey demonstration, bouncy castles and circus skills provide just part of the entertainment for youngsters. Food and refreshments will be available throughout the day or bring a picnic.

  1. So every musical culture bar English, then. Why do we ignore our local traditions? There are many folk musicians who would have been happy to support this event.

  2. I think you'll find there are several British 'musical cultures' there. Folk is not the only English one.
