Huge crowds helped to make this year’s Party in the Park event the biggest one yet.

More than 2,600 people went through the gates at UKP Leisure in Gore Court Road, Sittingbourne, on Saturday to make the most of the annual festival, now in its ninth year.

Acts this year included up-and-coming young singer Shannacorr Taylor who began the show.

She was followed by EK1, Rubber Biscuits, Curb Pilots and Marylebone Jelly.

Off stage there was plenty to keep the kids entertained including a funfair and inflatables.

UKP Leisure Club managing director Mike Farrow said: “We had a big response.

“It was the most we’ve had through the door for this event and it certainly seems to be getting bigger.

“We are hopefully planning on doing something bigger and better next year that will blow the doors off as it will be our 10th anniversary.”
