Bishop's Castle's Party in the Park has been deemed a success.

The event returned to the town at the weekend after being cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Organisers Centre Stage say the event reached full capacity with more than 1,400 attending the event over the weekend.

Speaking to Shropshire Star, event secretary Hayley Brewer said: ""The atmosphere is amazing it's really ecstatic. Seeing the kids running round and all the families catching up with each other is so nice."

"Some families haven't seen each other for the whole 18 months and the fact they chose us as a place to catch up is a privilege really. The moment when you see two people spot each other, and they haven't seen each other for a while, it's so lovely. I get goosebumps.

"The musicians have all be super appreciative to even be playing. There are a few who are locals, and some who have come from a bit further afield, but everybody has seemed to enjoy every single band - every single band has had people jumping up to dance."
