Crowds flock to park enjoy some festival fun

-

THOUSANDS of people descended on Heaton Moor Park for the annual Heatons Summer Festival.

The ever popular event featured a line- up of music and sport events, as well as a variety of family entertainm­ent and food.

Some of the most popular attraction­s on the day included the falconry display and a children’s Punch and Judy show.

Musical entertainm­ent was provided by singer Lily Jo, band Hit the North and a ukulele band, as well as variety of other performers.

The event, which this year raised money for Stockport Lamplighte­r, is run by the Four Heatons Traders Associatio­n and first began as a way to promote Heatons businesses, which still take part in the festivitie­s.

Sharon Byrne, one of the organisers, said: “We didn’t get great weather, but the rain stayed away for most of the day. It was fabulous, people had a fantastic day.”

Organisers are now holding a competitio­n to find the best photograph­s from the day.

The winning photo will appear in Moor magazine and the winner gets a family meal at Kro. Entries can be submitted to events@ fourheaton­s.co. uk.
