Cllr Steven Smithson, portfolio holder for parks, said:“So many fantastic local events and performances have been held at Oak Hill over the years and it would be a real pleasure to hear the park fill up with music and performances more frequently.

“Since the pandemic the use of council outdoor spaces for events has declined. We hope this reminder of it being available will inspire organisers to host their future activity in such a beautiful setting.”
