Oak Meadow party in the park
We are running the annual Oak Meadow party in the park on Saturday 11th July. There will be bands playing, cheerleaders, food and drink stall, craft stalls, rides, bouncy castle. It’s a great family day out. It’s the park next to Waitrose and Garam Masala in Cheadle Hulme.
Entrance is £1 for adults and children go free. Funds are used to help maintain the park and pay for the electricity to light up the oak tree in the winter.
Stalls are £25 if anyone wants one, we are trying not to duplicate stall holders so first come, first serve. Contact Priti P on Streetlife
