Thank you to everyone who came along to the Highfield Park Fete.

It was great to see so many local families enjoying a day out in the Park.

The Fete was in aid of installing a memorial in the Hill End Garden of Rest, this is the area where around 1000 patients from Hill End and Cell Barnes Mentall Health Hospitals were buried in pauper graves.  The memorial will commemorate those buried there and ensure that the history of the area is not forgotten.

The fete raised over £2000 in aid of the memorial, so depending on design and materials, the Trust is very close to being able to install the memorial.

If you would like to be part of the team who organises the fete, or have any suggestions as to how it can be improved please contact the Trust.
