FREE events will be taking place across Cirencester's much loved parks and green spaces.
This summer sees the return of Love Parks, the UK’s nationwide celebration of parks and green spaces.
The events will take place from Friday, July 28 to Sunday, August 6.
This year's programme will include a football tournament, pond dipping, arts and sculpture activities, football golf, cheerleading, nature walks and workshops, wild in the woods, National Play Day, Teddy Bears picnic and the popular dog show.
Brona Langton, project and management support officer at Cirencester Town Council, said: “Love Parks really is an opportunity for us all to celebrate the wonderful green spaces in Cirencester and a great way to start the summer holidays.”
Martin Conyers, estate services manager at Cirencester Town Council, explained: “We are proud to embrace the Love Parks ethos. This is our fifth year of putting on these free events and our programme continues to delight park goers.
"This would not be possible without the wider support of our community and friends groups and our partner organisations.”
Councillor Andy Lichnowski, Lead Member for Estate Services, agreed: “The Town Council see the Love Parks initiative as a way to celebrate and share our parks with the community through a programme that encourages people to get outside and enjoy themselves with friends and family.”
