Queens Park in Crewe will be holding a platinum jubilee celebration event this summer along with other popular parks across Cheshire East.

The event will take place on Friday 3 June consisting of the two headline acts, Tumblin Dance and The Gospel Truth Soul Band.

There are already over 60 confirmed stalls and attractions, plus food and drink outlets.

The event is being organised by the Friends of Queens Park, a voluntary group who work in the park all year round.

Secretary for Friends of Queens Park, Sheila Blackburn told Nub News: "We are very excited to be able to arrange this celebration for the Queen's 70th Jubilee in the town's beautiful award winning park that was originally dedicated to Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.

"Crewe residents and visitors will be able to enjoy a memorable day from 11am until 6pm, including live music, arena attractions, children's entertainers, dance and gymnastic displays, stalls and exhibits and much more.

"There will be a Fancy Dress Parade, be a Queen or King for the Day and a dog show, Paws in the Park.

"We are pleased to be working with several community groups, including Crewe Lions, Creative Crewe, students from Crewe Design and Engineering UTC and several local Primary Schools.

"We give our thanks to our generous sponsors."

Lead Vocalist of The Gospel Truth Soul Band, Nikki Hicks said: "We are honoured to be performing at  Queens Park for Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.

"The band performs throughout the North West/ Midlands with an eclectic mix of Motown and Northern Soul songs. 

"We pride ourselves on replicating songs from the 60s and 70s that strike at the heart of every Northern Soul/ Motown fan. 

The Gospel Truth Soul Band are now one of the most popular bands of their kind in North Staffordshire and Cheshire.

The band also consists of bass player Dean, lead guitarist Ted and drummer Ron.

Nikki added: "Do not miss the opportunity to experience our fantastic musical extravaganza on such an historical event where we aim to create an atmosphere that people will remember for many years to come."

Friends of Queens Park say there is still time to sign up space for trade, craft and charities.
