We’re kicking off our trio of events on July 19th with a spectacular DJ set accompanied by live saxophone and percussionist, providing the perfect soundtrack for a relaxing summer evening.

So sit back, relax and listen to the music with a chilled drink, courtesy of The Bottle House, then pop over to Glamavan, who will be on hand to give your evening some extra sparkle.

Cllr Joseph Symes, Chair of the Cultural and Economic Services Committee says, ‘These events are a great way for the people to enjoy their town and support local High Street businesses.’
