LOOK: Teddy Bear Picnic in Beechwood Park, Newport
From 2pm to 5pm on Sunday June 1, Beechwood Park was filled with lots of little ones and their teddy bears for a special event organised by the Beechwood Park Community Group. There was plenty of entertainment, from face painters, live music, even a very special performance from 10-year-old piano player Harrison Cain Thomas, and a performance from the Empire Dance Crew, as well as DJ Jordan with Skye & Storm the Macaws. As well as all this, there were multiple cartoon character mascots wandering around the park and stopping for pictures with the children, with Bluey, Pikachu and Stitch all spotted. They even took part in a cartoon characters' disco with the children and their teddies later in the afternoon. One of the organisers, Sue Selkirk told the Argus: "It's been absolutely rammed this afternoon and we've actually had so many more people turn up than we expected. "It's been really lovely to see so many people coming out for this picnic and coming together. We feel really lucky as a group to have so many people in our community come out together like this." The Teddy Bears' Picnic was a free to attend event hosted by Beechwood Park Community Group from 2-5pm on Sunday, June 1 in Beechwood Park, Newport.
