Park busking festival comes to Grantham

A celebration of music, sound and colour will take over a Grantham park on Saturday 9th August.

The event, at Wyndham Park, 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.

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!”
