PLANS for a Worcester community fun day have been handed a big boost.

Three companies have agreed to sponsor St Peter’s Festival and will provide a financial contribution to the event and run stands on the day.

Edwards Motors, of Main Road, Kempsey, Dream Doors of The Tything, Worcester, and Griffiths, the contractors carrying out work on the southern link road at the Ketch roundabout, are getting involved in the community celebration.

St Peter’s Festival will take place on Sunday, June 28, at Power Park in Worcester.

Activities including a mammoth inflatable slide, face painting and crazy golf are being planned for the day alongside a live DJ, Morris dancers and barbecue food.

A number of local schools have also been approached to see if their children would like to entertain the crowds with musical performances on the day.

Councillor Brenda Wheeler, of St Peter’s Parish Council, which is planning the festival, told Your Worcester News last year: “There will be fun and entertainment for the community and we want the day to be open to everyone in St Peter’s.

“It will bring people closer together and help residents make friends with their neighbours.

“With all that is going on with the road works near St Peter’s the festival will give people something to look forward to.”
