Summer Events 2024
We are now moving into the warmer months of the year and I am looking forward to all the events and activities that are taking place throughout the spring and summer.
The free music concerts in the park will start on Sunday 19 May with Swindon Brass and Cricklade Brass at 12pm and 3pm respectively.
The summer events in the Bowl start with Old Time Sailors on Friday 3 May. In early June, we are taking part in the return of the Old Town Festival, which is taking place the start of June. On Saturday 1 June, Comedy at the Bowl returns with a new line up of award-winning comedians, and Sunday 9th June, the Bowl will host Supersonic Queen once again.
There are many more events throughout the summer which you can get involved with, including theatre, opera, and children’s events. You can grab your tickets from the Town Gardens website: www.towngardens-swindon.co.uk I hope to see you there!
