Party on the Park

The Ilminster Party on the Park is organised by a team of volunteers for residents to support local charity groups by visiting their stalls, listening to local music groups, joining in the tug-of-war comptetion, watching a puppet show and enjoying a hog roast and picnics. The event was well supported by Ilminster residents and others from the surrounding area. The event team had provided extra bins to supplement the fixed bins on the recreation ground. People came with picnics or bought food from the stalls, tuck shop and tea tent. The Shed (cricket and football) bar was in operation throughout the event. The bins were emptied by volunteers throughout the event (noon to 8pm), so litter was kept to a minimum, but excluding the bins which produced some 16 bags of rubbish was collected..
