We're looking forward to our first Party in the Park in Blenheim Gardens for a number of years, and we're very pleased to be working with Minehead Town Council.
Why not spend the afternoon with us? Bring a picnic with you or visit the Blenheim Gardens Cafe where you will be able to pick up a prepared picnic box (while stocks last) or enjoy hot dogs, burgers or pasties, as well as their range of drinks and ice creams! |
