Maypole Celebration and Teddy Bear’s Picnic

Everyone is welcome to join the Friends of West Park for a Maypole Celebration and Teddy Bears’ Picnic in West Park on the first Bank Holiday Monday in May.

There will be dancing around the Maypole from 11.30am to 12.30pm, followed by a Teddy Bears’ Picnic from 12.30m to 1.30pm.

Ice creams will be on sale and West Park Cafe will be open as usual. Picnic lunches are available from the cafe, but must be pre-ordered. The first 20 picnic lunches be provided free of charge, thanks to Friends of West Park.

Weather permitting, there will also be free craft activities on the band stand, courtesy of Huddle Goole.
