Requests are already coming in for info about booking stalls for Queen’s Park Day 2016 in September. It is really fantastic that QPD is so popular, but applications will not be open until April. Forms will be will be available here to download from the beginning of April. The closing date will be mid May. Thanks for being patient.
There was a vote of thanks at October’s monthly meeting to the Queen’s Park Day organising team for all of their hard work delivering another hugely popular event, attended this year by over 13,000 people. Queen’s Park Day provided a fantastic opportunity for the local community to get together and for voluntary organisations to get their message over. Many of the stall-holders sent lovely messages of support and thanks after the event. Queen’s Park Day could not take place without the dedication of the park staff – huge thanks to them too. Next year’s QPD will be on 18th September.
