If you’re enjoying the live music on Sunday 3rd July, why not come and join us to make paper flowers for the Ramsgate Carnival Ellington Park float – at the bandstand on Sunday. No experience or artistic attributes neccesary – full instruction given and it doesn’t really matter if you make a pig’s ear of it – in fact that could make a very interesting flower!! Piggyus Ealobius floribunda! It’s the taking part that matters X X

MUSIC SUNDAYS IN ELLINGTON PARK
There will be free concerts on the bandstand in Ellington Park, Ramsgate, every Sunday afternoon throughout July.
These concerts have been organised by the Friends of Ellington Park in order to provide Sunday afternoon entertainment for the local community. The bandstand is in need of renovation, and the Friends are working towards this, but it is still a much loved asset of Ellington Park.
The concerts will begin on 3rd July with the Thanet Concert Band. Thanet Concert Band is made up entirely of volunteer amateur musicians who were highly praised and much appreciated when they became the first band to play on the bandstand for many years.
On 10th July, Craig Sheridan and Claire Bonham will share the stage. Craig is a singer and songwriter and Claire has been singing in public for the last three years, singing being her big passion.
On 17th July Screaming Cherry will perform. Screaming Cherry is a guitar based female-lead vocal rock band who play original music and covers from contemporary and popular rock artists.
On 24th and 31st July Juke Box Classics will feature a number of new musical acts.
All concerts will be from 2pm-4pm and the Friends of Ellington Park hope that the local community enjoy this eclectic mix of music on offer.
The Friends of Ellington Park will be providing light refreshments and suggest that people bring their own chairs/cushions or picnic rugs.
