Summer days out – Suzuki backs Feel Good Family Picnic
The free events for families organised by the council team behind Rochdale Feel Good Festival will bring 4 days of fun activities, performances, music, sports and shows for children of all ages to local parks from 30 July 2024 to 2 August 2024.
The Feel Good Family Picnic will be staged from 12pm to 4pm in Rochdale’s Broadfield Park on Tuesday 30 July 2024, Limefield Playing Fields in Middleton on Wednesday, 31 July 2024 and Harehill Park in Littleborough on Thursday, 1 August 2024. The final date will be in Heywood at Queen’s Park on Friday, 2 August 2024.
The Rochdale Suzuki dealership, based on Water Street near the town centre opened in 2021 and serves customers across Greater Manchester. The company will be promoting the event to their customers across the region as well as having an eye-catching brand area at each event, featuring the new Suzuki Swift hatchback.
The Feel Good Family Picnic enjoyed a very successful launch last summer, with over 9,500 people attending over four days.
Ben Bird, director at Premier Suzuki, said they were proud to be supporting the event:
“I know how fantastic all the Feel Good Family Picnics were last year so we’re really happy to be a part of it this summer. These events are all about getting outside and having a great experience with the family during the summer holidays and we’re drawing up exciting plans. The company is committed to the local community and this new event gives us an opportunity to join in the fun.”
To coincide with the summer Olympics in Paris, the theme for the Feel Good Family Picnic is the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect.
Councillor Sue Smith, cabinet member for communities and co-operation at Rochdale Borough Council visited Premier Suzuki this week and said:
“We are very grateful for this support from Premier Suzuki which will enable us to deliver another enchanting and unforgettable time for all our visitors this July and August. The Feel Good Family Picnic’s will be filled with live performances, music, activities and magical entertainment to capture the imaginations of families in our beautiful parks and gardens.”
The Feel Good Family Picnic will be staged by the council in partnership with Without Walls, a consortium of festivals and arts organisations bringing fantastic outdoor arts to people in towns and cities across England. It will be supported through the government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).
