Picnic in the Park

Picnic in the Park

GMDT organises the free annual family event held in Carlisle Park, in central Morpeth.

Every summer, the vibrant community spirit of Morpeth comes alive with this much-anticipated event. Families, friends, and visitors from near and far gather to enjoy an afternoon filled with music, laughter, and shared memories in the picturesque Carlisle Park. The atmosphere is always electric, a testament to the dedication of organisers and volunteers alike. Each year, the event surpasses expectations, offering something for everyone.

The 2026 picnic will be held on a Sunday in July between 12 mid-day and 4pm.

The above poster is 2025 poster – we will be update the poster for 2026 – this year’s version gives you a sample of what the day entails. Fun for everyone.

This cherished tradition brings together an array of entertainment and activities that cater to all age groups. The picnic boasts performances, interactive games, and stalls, offering everything from local crafts and delicious treats to community resources. Each year, organisers strive to introduce new elements, ensuring the event remains fresh and exciting for attendees. Families can relax amidst the greenery while children explore the many activities designed to keep them engaged and delighted.

The event held on 13th July 2025 attracted thousands throughout the afternoon.
