The council and Friends of Coalville Park are jointly organising the Celebrate 125 Years of Coalville Park - which will take place Saturday, June 29, and Sunday, June 30, in Coalville Park - and families have been invited to come along and enjoy the occasion.

Three events over two days will take place:

People can get involved by taking part in the free activities, including tennis, sports games, rounders and learning about the best ways to get out and active in Coalville.
• Saturday 29 June 6pm until 9.30pm – An evening of live music from Mudslide Band and the Carton Kings Band as well as a wide selection of street food to enjoy.
