Scandinavian Summer Fest
This was the first of what has now become an annual event in The Tree Circle in Millfields Park.
Celebrating the Summer solstice, families gather to enjoy Midsummer’s day with friends – the longest day of the year – Taking inspiration from traditional Scandinavian festivities, dancing, singing, flower wreath making, arts and crafts are all enjoyed around a picnicking community under the dappled light of the trees.
As our contribution to the event, we rolled out two giant sheets of paper and brought our favourite markers, pens and paint sticks along to colour with. Kiddos and grown ups left their mark throughout the afternoon.
We also set up a face painting table which was hot property to all the kids!
