ARTISTS will be coming to Stanton Park as part of an event organised by Swindon Council.

The Stepping Out at Stanton Event will feature story telling and interactive art as well as a range of other activities.

Ron Hoskins from the Swindon Bee Association will be on hand to talk about the joys of being a beekeeper and the Farmhouse at Stanton Park will be open for refreshments.

Visitors will also be able to see what has been achieved by the Parks DIY Community Group.

Director of Swindon Services John Short said: "It is nice to be able to support such events and to see Stanton Park used to support this type of activity. The park is a jewel in the crown for Swindon Borough Council and I would welcome more visitors from the borough."

The event, which is free, takes place from noon on Sunday April 17 and anyone who goes along should wear stout footwear.
