Radio Bath and Peasedown Party in the Park team-up for popular festival next year

A partnership that was formed earlier this year to ‘put on a show like no other’ for the late HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June is to continue for another year.

Radio Bath, the local area’s new community radio station, and Peasedown Party in the Park, one of the district’s most well-established festivals, have teamed up for a second year in a row.

Party in the Park Festival Managers Karen Walker and Gavin Heathcote said: “We’re thrilled to have teamed up with Radio Bath for another year. As well as broadcasting top quality shows, and playing the best music, they are also committed to providing a voice to our many local communities, and in particular under-represented and under-served individuals across the area.

“They’re extremely fortunate to have a highly skilled team of professionals working behind the scenes, which we’re looking forward to working with in preparation for next year’s festival in Peasedown.”

Radio Bath will be running and coordinating all the stage entertainment on the day of the festival. The team will be ensuring that the 7-hour event is jam-packed with the very best live music and entertainment.

Steve Fountain, one of the station’s founders, is a professional broadcaster with over 40 years’ experience of presentation, production and station management at the highest levels of the British radio industry. He said: “We’re looking forward to working with the Party in the Park team to organise the live music aspect of next year’s festival. Peasedown’s summer festival is one of the longest running in the district. With crowds of up to 3,000 people attending each year, it’s an event like no other and does a fantastic job at bringing the community together.

“Radio Bath will be there on the day, broadcasting live and ensuring festival goers are kept on their feet with the very best local bands for 7 hours!”

Peasedown Party in the Park 2023 will be held on Beacon Field on Saturday 10th June 2023, from 11.30am – 7pm. For more details about Radio Bath and to listen live online visit www.radiobath.com
