PARK workers, youth workers and police have organised a Music in the Park event to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

Pennington Park in Leigh will play host to local talent at the event on Sunday, June 2, between 1pm-4pm.

There will be a bouncy castle and other activities including face painting, five-a-side football and an opportunity to have a go at crown green bowling. Tyldesley Band and a jazz quartet will be playing from 2pm.

Plans have been mooted to provide the park a permanent bandstand for future events.
