Coun Chris Ready said: “We can’t wait for Proms in the Park to return this year and for our communities to come together to celebrate the sights and sounds of the park.

“We’re so lucky to have such wonderful green spaces to play host to events like this and what better way to spend a Saturday evening than enjoying talented musicians while snacking on your favourite picnic treats.”

Tickets are priced from £9.50 for children and £12.50 for adults, with a VIP experience of prosecco and cream tea in a private gazebo also available.
