The Big Bemerton Bash

Residents on Bemerton Heath were in for a treat with the return of the Big Bemerton Bash event on Gainsborough Close.

The Resident Engagement team were delighted to support the yearly event by providing free refreshments alongside working partners Salisbury City Council.

Rise61 the local youth charity used the community garden as the main backdrop and hosted sports activities in the adjacent MUGA (Multi use games area). Wiltshire Creative and Circus Wessex provided some fun activities with delicious free Pizzas provided by local restaurant Pizza Venti.

One customer said, "It's great to see the community come together, there is so much free activity here today!"
