About
The popular family-friendly Picnic in the Park event returns to Ward Park for another summer with free live music at the bandstand from 3 – 5pm every Sunday in July and August. Just pack a picnic, bring a rug or folding chairs and some suncream (or waterproofs!) and enjoy the best of the summer in the open air.
We have a great programme of live music including...
7 July | The Gold Tips, a non-stop soul hurricane
14 July | All female alternative rock band Monday's Child
21 July | Lads Of The Lough, a lively five-piece from the shores of Lough Neagh. They play folk, traditional, and bluegrass music with a very modern twist.
28 July | Local favourites Jackie Rainey and the Sweet Beats
4 August | Punk classics from Wasted Talent
11 August | The five piece AC?DC delivering songs from the Bon Scott era
18 August | Anna's number, renowned for their expansive, inventive setlist – from 60s rock ‘n’ roll to 70s funk/soul classics to noughties Clubland bangers
And,
The Broken String Band wrapping up the summer at our Big Bluegrass Picnic on 25th August.
