On Sunday 11 May, the Mayor of Dacorum, Cllr Brenda Link, will be hosting a free Garden Party at Sunnyside’s Hemel Food Garden (HP3 9BY).

This community event will run from 11am-3pm and will feature free entertainment from local performers, including Hemel Hempstead Theatre Company, Dacorum Community Choir, Hemel Symphony Orchestra and more.

A variety of free activities will be on offer for all the family, including face painting, balloon modelling, family yoga with Boxmoor Yoga, games and charity stalls.

A range of food and drink will be available including Sunnyside’s café and pizza oven, and a mobile bar. There will also be some tempting sweet treats, including homemade cakes, and ice-cream.

The Mayor of Dacorum, Cllr Brenda Link, said: ‘I’m looking forward to hosting the Mayor’s Garden Party in the lovely setting of Sunnyside’s Hemel Food Garden. It will be wonderful to see the community come together to enjoy entertainment from talented local performers and free children’s activities, while helping to support our local charities.’

The event is being generously sponsored by Cardo, and Bulger Developments.
