Picnic in the Park

After 2 years absence, we hosted a successful return of this normally annual event on Sunday 17th July 2022 – with dual themes of the Environment and Jubilee.

The Morpeth ‘Picnic in the Park’ is a free annual family event hosted by GMDT on either the 2nd or 3rd Sunday of July in Carlisle Park, whichever Sunday is immediately prior to the schools summer holidays. Each annual picnic has a theme and in 2019 it was all about nature and conservation, with a corresponding art project geared to the same subject. The picnic runs from 12 noon – 4pm with free BBQ, music, children’s entertainment, magic, plus much much more. Our 2023 event will be hosted on Sun 16th July… please watch out for further details nearer date!

This is our biggest event and is supported by the Carlisle Park Team of Northumberland County Council,but also requires many GMDT volunteers on the day to ensure everything runs smoothly.
