Love Telford kicks off an exciting events schedule for 2022 in Telford!
Love Telford is taking place on Saturday 19 February, brought to you by Telford & Wrekin Council’s Culture and Events Team. This brand new event taking place between 11am – 2.00pm in Telford Town Park and Southwater, will see art and sport activities, music and performance acts alongside representation from community groups from across our Telford and Wrekin borough
It is the first event of the calendar to take place in 2022 and is the perfect opportunity to kick start a fabulous February half term for families.
This fun free outdoor event is for everyone, designed with a great selection of international themed street food and entertainment to bring local communities together and an opportunity to find out more about what’s going on in the local area.
Councillor Paul Watling (Labour), Cabinet Member for Stronger and Safer Communities said: “Community is going to be at the heart of our events calendar this year, there will be lots going on with plenty of opportunities for local residents and visitors to come together, 2022 is a special year with events planned for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, three main headline music acts in July and the return of Telford’s Carnival plus lots more.”
Councillor Carolyn Healy (Labour), Climate Change, Parks, Green Spaces, Natural and Historic Environment and Cultural Services said:
“Highlights of this outdoor event will include opportunities to enjoy trails within Maxell Gardens, seed planting, make your mark on our graffiti board with graffiti artist David Brown, great tasty street food options to choose from, music from the Bombay Baja brass band and dancing from a local Bhangra dance group, entertainment from roaming street entertainers in and around Southwater, meet local groups and organisations and much more. There will be wet weather activities and areas should the weather be inclement!”
This free event is open to all in the community to celebrate the diverse range of cultural communities in Telford through the entertainment, music and food on offer. Event updates and further announcements will be available on Telford Town Park Facebook Events page.
