Friends of Roxbourne Park committee has always been keen to run events for members and other park users, but we had to stop using the Council building during lockdown.

As we get back to normal,  the popular Save Sunday Music series has recommenced, with various bands and performers playing near the pavilion, for the enjoyment of all comers. While that is on, volunteers run a pop-up cafe from the pavilion, serving hot and cold drinks and cakes.

Gardening and park maintenance never stopped, and now we host work sessions twice a month either in the Roxbourne Rough Nature Reserve or in the Community Orchard. We look after paths and ponds, trees and wild flower areas, and all are welcome to join in.

Our annual fun day and dog show, RoxyFest, will be held in the park in September, with stalls, kiddies funfair and lots of other attractions. 

 

We are also planning some other events for the benefit of the park-using community. Please look at the list below for dates, and see Facebook and our notice boards for more details, nearer the time. If you have any ideas for community events we might be able to hold, please get in touch by email forp2016@forp2016.org or use Contact Us on this website.
