Peasedown St John’s Party in the Park festival has received the backing of St John’s Church.

The Church, which runs an extensive range of community projects and initiatives across the village, has been announced as the summer extravaganza’s first sponsor for 2022.

Festival Chairman, Nathan Hartley, said: “We are thrilled to have the support of St John’s Church for our 12th festival, which takes place on Friday 3rd June – as part of HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.

“Over the last fifteen years, Revd Matthew Street and his team have done a lot to reach out to the community, organise events and coordinate initiatives that strengthen community spirit. This is just the type of organisation we are keen to work with.

With our vision of making Party in the Park better each year, this year’s party will cost over £6,000 to host. The sponsorship from St John’s Church means we are well on our way to reaching our fundraising target.”

This is the first Peasedown Party in the Park Festival in three years. The 2020 and 2021 events were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
