Colourful Weekend

Gloucester Park again hosted a summer fair and events in July, a tradition started after the war to entertain families who could not afford to go away for the summer holiday season, and continues today. It culminates in a Saturday night firework display which this year was organised by those behind the 2012 Olympic display - so well spectacular.

This was followed on Sunday by 53rd celebration of Jamaican independence. The park was filled with Jamaican cooking smells, kites and the sounds of Bob Marley.



Rounded off, on a hot summers day, by a return to Highnam Court and Gardens:
