Party on the Green is a one day festival that brings a joyful jamboree of community-led outdoor activities and professional performances to Weston’s Coniston Green Park in South Ward.
Now a summer fixture of South Ward life, past performances include a stunning Acrobatic showcase ‘Look Mum, No Hands’ by Mimbre and dare-devil BMX stunts with the Extreme Mountain Bike Show with something for all ages to enjoy.
FMC Circus Arts have presented a circus show created and performed by local young people, also hosting a circus skills workshop and budding bikers tested their skills at a Bike Control workshop with Danny Butler.
For the past few years this has been a fun-filled afternoon of free experiences hosted by members of the local community that has include face painting, silent discos, crafting with Community Scrapstore North Somerset and apple-pressing with Alliance Homes.
Party on the Green is a festival of outdoor arts and creative activity in Weston’s South Ward. With investment from Without Walls and Esmee Fairbairn, Super Culture supported the festival for three years, building local capacity and skills and co-designing the programme with a panel of local people. The festival has now been handed over to the South Ward community to run as a fixture of their Summer programme.
