FREE EVENT — Playful Park

Tomorrow we launch Playful Park — but first, let’s make the park look gorgeous!

Bunting Bonanza is your chance to get creative and make colourful bunting that will dress Coronation Park for the whole summer. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just fancy having a go, all materials are provided — just bring your imagination and your best colour combinations. Great for families!

This isn’t just about bunting. It’s about getting together as a community and putting your mark on the park before its most colourful summer yet. A relaxed, creative, all-ages session to get us ready for the big Playful Park launch the very next day.

Come along, get stuck in, and help us deck the park!

Part of the build-up to the Playful Park launch on 26th July.

What is Playful Park?

Playful Park is our 2026 project transforming Coronation Park into a vibrant destination for family fun all summer long. At its heart is a spectacular giant painted floor mural designed by local artist Lisa Curtis — packed with games for all ages, free to play and here to stay as a permanent new addition to the park. Alongside the mural, there’s an interactive running track, community bunting-making, the Big Scribble (where you get to draw all over the paths!), a two-day games expo, busking from local young musicians, Play in a Day with the Minack, roaming Commedia dell’arte, Wake the Giant, a family sports day and much more running right through the summer holidays.
