March Summer Festival

🎤 Meet the man, the myth, the legend: Arron Storey 🎉

Introducing Arron Storey — the creative mind behind our Entertainment Committee and the man responsible for bringing this year’s fabulous March Summer Festival line‑up to life.

He welcomed every act onto the stage, so it’s only right we give him a proper intro too 🙌✨

As a songwriter and producer, it’s no surprise he’s created this brilliant, unique reel 🎶🔥

What a weekend!!! 🎉

We are so grateful to have shared West End Park with thousands of you this weekend. What an atmosphere! 💛

Over the next few days, our socials will be dedicated to saying thank you—and we have so many people to thank for so many different reasons.

Today, our biggest thank you goes to YOU. Every single one of you who joined us at any point across the weekend—whether it was for one day or all three. We loved seeing so many familiar faces returning throughout the festival!

We create a varied line-up of music and entertainment across the three days, to appeal to everyone and give you a reason to come back again…and again. And lots of you did.

The truth is—without your support, March Summer Festival wouldn’t exist… or at the very least, it would be a very quiet picnic in the park with just the committee! 😄

The committee and volunteers are still a little tired but buzzing from the energy and atmosphere you brought all weekend.

What was your weekend highlight? 🌟Share your photos with us! 📸

We’ve created a placeholder event for 2027 👀 but note—there are always lots of moving parts before anything is confirmed and planning begins, so bear with.

From all of us… thank you for making it unforgettable. Was great to you all at the Crossroads 😉

Leave nothing but footsteps*
And with that… March Summer Festival 2026 is officially a wrap 🌙💛

Houston… we have left the field. Over. 🚀
Our incredible stage crew are completing their démontage as we speak, and by midnight they’ll be rolling out — returning West End Park back to the peaceful green space we all love.

Thank you, March. You showed up, you danced, you cheered, you supported.
What a weekend! Time of a few days rest before we review and start planning for 2027.
The only words that can sum up this weekend is WOW and THANK YOU.

🎷 The final act of March Summer Festival 2026… and what a way to close! 🎷

The incredible The Alan Norris Big Band are now on stage, filling West End Park with that big, warm, golden‑hour sound. The sun is setting on our last day, the atmosphere is mellow, and it’s the perfect moment to soak in the final notes of an amazing festival weekend. ☀️✨

There’s still time to pop over and enjoy the last of the Sunday magic.

🎶 The Sunday chill continues… 🎶

On stage right now is the wonderfully smooth Aimee Peart‑Webb, keeping things easy and laid‑back as the afternoon rolls on. ☀️✨

She’ll be followed by Back Two, the brilliant March Can't Sing Choir, and rounding off the vibe in style — The Alan Norris Big Band bringing that big, warm, Sunday sound. 🎷💛

Come join us and soak up the relaxed festival flow.
