Party in the Park

Market Drayton’s Party in the Park, which has been held twice and was inspired by an event in Whitchurch, was scheduled to go ahead later this year with live music, food stalls and free entry.

The young event has been a hit so far, drawing 2,000 people to the town park in 2018 and 1,600 last year despite poor weather.

Coronavirus has meant much of this summer’s social events have been cancelled or postponed, but as restrictions are eased, organiser Mike Smith said he still hopes to have a party in some capacity this year, though it would likely mean charging for entry to make it realistic.
