THE popular May Day in the Park, held at Wellington Park, is being moved forward a day and given a new name this year.

The event, previously held on the May Day Bank Holiday Monday, will this year be staged on Sunday, April 30, and is being dubbed a ‘Spring Fayre’.

Organisers say they have made the move to avoid clashing with other local events.

Groups, organisations, schools, playgroups, and charities are being invited to have a stall – cost £12 for a single pitch, £20 for a double pitch – to help with their fundraising.
