Stourport Memorial Park: Charity event attracts huge crowds

The 'Mayor's Charity Shenanigans' event took place on Sunday (August 25) and saw around 1,000 people gather at Stourport Memorial Park. 

Local performers including Rosie Kirby, Charlie David and headliners SuperFuz took to the stage with Dan Hunt also hosting an open mic. 

The event was hosted to help raise awareness and vital funds for the Stourport Mayor's chosen charities including Parkinson's UK and Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven. 

There was also award-winning street food courtesy of Eat Street Repeat, including Bigmouths Kitchen and Foleys Horse Box Bar, as well as entertainment for the children.

A spokesperson for Eat Street Repeat said: "What a fantastic day we had despite the weather. 

"We lost a bit of the crowd throughout the day due to the weather but we are extremely grateful for the Stourport branch of ESR Scran Gang who stayed and supported the event.

"The open mic was put on by Dan Hunt who did a fantastic job for us by running the second stage ESR pink tent and finding some incredible acts."

Organisers said it was incredible to see the crowd singing and dancing between the drizzles of rain and praised headline act SuperFuz. 

The main stage was donated by Standard Motor Transport from Kidderminster and sponsored by the BOA Brewing Company. 

Stourport Mayor John Thomas was in attendance and "extremely grateful for the efforts of the traders, musicians and entertainers". 

He also thanked the supporters and sponsors for helping to highlight his choice of charities this year. 

Eat Street Repeat added: "We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the day to help raise money including traders, musicians, sponsors, supporters and most of all the Stourport Scran Gang."
