Bourne Picnic in the Park attracts good turnout as sun finally shines on Wellhead Park and Red Hall
A rare June appearance from the sun drew the crowds out for Bourne’s latest annual Picnic in the Park event on Sunday.
Families took advantage of a dry day in what has been a soggy early summer to enjoy the festivities at the Wellhead Park, organised by the Bourne Events team.
The event was supported by Bourne United Charities who donated the use of the Wellhead and Red Hall for the day.
”It went extremely well,” said Paul Fellows, of Bourne Events.
“The weather gods were amazingly kind to us and we didn’t have a single rain shower all day, so a lot of people came out.”
Local musicians, as well as the LDC Dancers, took to the stage to perform to the picnickers - while youngsters enjoyed the fairground rides, free face painting and other fun and games.
There were also charity stalls and food stands to keep punters fed if their picnic hampers ran empty.
“Our live performers were very well received,” Paul added.
“It gave a lot of young musicians a chance to perform on stage - some for only the first or second time.”
Dads were catered for on Father’s Day with a classic car show at the Red Hall.
Around 70 stunning classic cars were on display courtesy of the Lincolnshire MG Club.
“There was a huge number of families,” said Paul.
“It was a joy to see the youngsters running around and enjoying themselves.
“I think people were just keen to be out in the sunshine again.”
