10/03/11………Music in the Park comes to Thame

THAME’S under-used and often unloved Elms Park, in Park Street, is to be the venue for an outdoor music event later in the year.

Music in the Park for everyone is the aim of the event being organised by the Friends of Elms Park and Thame Town Council, planned to take place on Sunday, May 8.

The Friends of Elms Park (FOEP) are a small group of Thame residents who want to work towards improving the facilities and increasing the use of this often under appreciated Thame park, sadly more often coming to public attention because of anti social behaviour.

It is hoped that this community musical event will raise awareness of the park and encourage more locals to use its facilities.

Music in the Park will feature different genres of music with two separate stages featuring electric and acoustic music, tribute bands, original music, cover bands, solo performers. The aim is to have a proper music festival in Thame for the people of Thame and surrounding villages. A wide range of bands and performers have already shown an interest in getting involved, as well as local community groups, trade stands etc.

If you would like to perform, book a trade stand, sponsor a stage, band, or workshop, or get involved in some other way, all offers of help, suggestion and support are much appreciated, then we would love to hear from you. Visit the website at: for more information.
