Easter Bonnet competition reminder

Its forecast to rain on Easter Sunday (so some traditions continue) - so why not use the time to enter the Kingsgate Park Easter Bonnet Competition. This is an annual event, run by the Town Council and Friends of the Park - this year it is on one, so get your photos uploaded by 10am Monday 13th......

Kingsgate Park - congratulations and Easter Eggs!

Congratulations to Yate Town Council, their staff and all the volunteers of the Friends of Kingsgate Park! The park has been awarded FIVE STARS in South West in Bloom's Pride in Parks Award. It's a very well deserved recognition of all the hard work that has been put in.
