BARNSLEY Garden Party will be returning to the town centre later this month.

Taking place from 11am to 4pm on May 24, the start of the spring bank holiday, the event will have lots on offer for locals.

The Glass Works Square will come alive with some of the UK’s leading artists and most incredible performances including BAMBOO, a high-impact outdoor circus production using only bamboo and human bodies.

Coun Robin Franklin, cabinet spokesperson for regeneration and culture, said: “For the third year in a row, the return of the Barnsley Garden Party marks a fantastic opportunity to celebrate creativity and art.

“The Barnsley Garden Party has now become a staple in the town centre events calendar, along with the Barnsley Big Weekend and the International Market, which saw great success on its return last month.

“To be able to celebrate art and creativity in the heart of Barnsley’s town centre is a real honour and emphasises our commitment to promoting creative opportunities.”

A full schedule of events can be found on the council’s website.
