A PARTY is to be held at the Yelverton Village Park — next to the Leg O' Mutton — on Sunday, September 20, from 12pm to 3pm.

The celebration, held to raise money for the upkeep of the village park, will involve a barbecue, refreshments, a bouncy castle, cake decorating as well as lots of fun and games.

The park, set up nine years ago by Brian Medhurst, relies completely on volunteers and charitable donations to keep it running. With their annual bash, the charity hopes to raise enough money to buy more equipment for the youngsters to enjoy.

With around 150 people showing their support last year, the park are planning to provide a fun day as well as gather support and potential volunteers for the future.

Katie Horler, a park volunteer said: 'We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the last few years. Weather permitting, the event this year should be a brilliant day.'
