Since last September, bands have been applying to perform – meaning that the full stage line-up was already complete by February.

Party in the Park sets aside a budget of over £1,000 each year to cover the costs of PA technical support and stage hire.

Party in the Park Chairman, Nathan Hartley, said: “A very large proportion of our festival budget goes on entertainment and all the costs we legally have to spend in connection with it.

“Without the support of our major sponsors this year, we really would have struggled to put on the spectacular Jubilee Festival we have planned. In total, we received thirty three enquires from performers wanting to appear on our Main Stage this year – the most ever!”

This year’s festival sponsors are: Curo, St John’s Church, Bath College, Peasedown Community Trust and Bath & North East Somerset Council.

Party in the Park has teamed up with Radio Bath and Reaper Events for the event. Radio Bath has organised the line up of performances, and Reaper Events are providing the staging, lighting and sound equipment on the day.

Cllr Sarah Bevan (Independent, Peasedown St John) said: “Peasedown Party in the Park is hugely popular not just locally, but across the region. This is why the Council had no hesitation in supporting it this year.

“It’s great to see public events like this starting to take place again after two years of lockdowns and covid uncertainty. I hope everyone has a fantastic time over the extended June Bank Holiday Weekend.”

The festival is expected to see over 2,500 people come through its gates on June 3rd.

Performing at this year’s festival are: Original Barn Finds, Peasedown St John Primary School Children, The Great Day Choir, Keith Horler, Kerosene Grace, Lille Rode, Open Road Somerset.

Jubilee Party in the Park, as part of the national four-day bank holiday to mark HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, officially starts at 12 noon on Friday, 3rd June on Beacon Field - with festivities running until 7 pm.
