Village Day – Starting at 10:00

The Friends of Blake Park are pleased to share that plans for Village Day 2026 are in full swing, with a Star Wars theme: May the 4th be with you!  A day in the park with a village fete feel, come along to enjoy street food, displays, local crafts, stalls, live music, bar, kids attractions and our ever-popular dog shows!

The Friends are a small group of volunteers, and we would love to have more help with Village Day, from planning and prepping to help on the day.  We’re a friendly group and it’s a fantastic event to be part of!  Please get in touch via our Friends Facebook page (@BlakeParkFriends) or via our NEW email address if you’d like to get involved: helen.korro.friendsofblakepark@gmail.com.

As always, the emphasis of the day is celebrating the West Wickham community, and we would love to have as many local craftspeople, small businesses, traders, charities, clubs and groups as possible be there with us on the day.  If you’re interested in becoming a stallholder, please contact us via our Village Day Facebook page (@WestWickhamDay) or contact Helen by email at helen.korro.friendsofblakepark@gmail.com.  We also have lots of opportunities to advertise your business in our programme, in our arena on the day and through our 100 Club.  Please email the Friends if you are interested.  Thank you.

Alongside Village Day, the Friends run activities in the park including litter picks, clean ups, gardening workshops and art in the park.  Please follow us on Facebook to keep updated.  We’ll also let you know about any grant applications, project developments in the park and more!
