Talented young people are being given the chance to take the stage and perform at South Cambridgeshire’s biggest free family fun day this summer.

South Cambridgeshire District Council‘s Parklife event at Milton Country Park – which attracted record crowds of over 5,000 people last year – will take place on Saturday, 28th June and young people with a talent they can take to the stage to share are being urged to get in touch.

At the annual event, organised in partnership with Cambridge Sports Lakes Trust, people of all ages can get in the swing by trying out free sporting activities from golf, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding, to trampolining, climbing, archery, fencing and orienteering.

Exclusive to this year’s event, to mark the arrival of the Tour de France on 7th July, is the special addition of a cycling village as well as a Commonwealth Games area and a World Cup Arena.

Live music, stalls with local produce and entertainment will also be at the fun-filled day that will run from 10am to 6pm.

Young people who want to take to the stage to share their talent – whether you’re a singer, dancer, poet, comedian or magician for example – is being urged to contact the Council now.

Tracy Mann of South Cambridgeshire District Council’s sustainable communities team, said:

This free family event has been increasingly popular year on year with new activities and entertainment at each event.

We are very keen to promote the benefits of an active lifestyle to our residents and hope this event helps inspire another generation to stay healthy by finding activities they enjoy.

Louis Pascuzzi, Chair of South Cambridgeshire District Council’s Youth Councillor who is part of the team organising the entertainment stage, said:

This event offers young people a fantastic opportunity to take to the stage and share what they can do. Whatever your talent; if you think it will entertain the crowds we want to hear from you.
