Families flock to party in the park at Kirkby for August bank holiday
Kirkby’s annual party in the park saw residents enjoying the final days of summer, as family attractions – including rides, live music and a dog show – kept all ages entertained in Ashfield.
Community for Action and Kirkby Events – CAKE – held its annual party in the park event at Kingsway Park.

“Everyone involved on the day did Ashfield proud.
“Thank you to everyone who came along to support it.”
Alice Johnson, who attended the day with her family, including Monty the dog, said: “What a fantastic day it was.
