Thousands of people visited Warminster’s Lake Pleasure Grounds as the community celebrated the return of the Spring in the Park event on Sunday 3rd May.
Stalls from local traders and charities lined the park, alongside a dog show, a mechanical rodeo bull competition and live performances from Rock Choir, The Slips Duo and The Athenaeum Masqueraders. Visitors also took part in a Splat the Alien game, where councillors and volunteers were targeted with wet sponges.
Boats and canoes were available to hire and proved popular across all ages, joining activities from the Warminster Model Boat Club on the water.
A spokesperson for Warminster Town Council said, “These events keep getting better and our town continues to thrive – today was a great advertisement of what the Warminster community offers.
“The day raises a huge amount for charity and community groups. Thank you to all the stallholders, vendors, staff and the public for another spectacular event.
“We remain rightly very proud of the Lake Pleasure Grounds and using the space to benefit the whole community. Warminster Town Council will continue to host regular events for Warminster that are free to attend and can be enjoyed by all.”
The Lake Pleasure Grounds will host more free events in 2026 including Youth Fest, the Ice Cream and Bubbles Festival and Pumpkins in the Park.
