Families flocked to Eastwood Park in Hasland for a community party and Big Lunch event.

The day organised by Friends of Eastwood Park took place on Sunday, June 8 and saw a range of activities in the park.

Stalls and fairground rides were available and residents were encouraged to bring a picnic, sit on the grass and enjoy an afternoon of free family fun.

Entertainment on offer included Ashgate Hospice’s mini tractors, circus skills, a party bus, garland dancers and community stands.

The event was attended by Chesterfield Mayor and Mayoress Barry and Marie Dyke.
