50th Anniversary of South Hill Park
2023 marks our 50th anniversary. To celebrate this historic occasion, we are running a number of special community events.
As well as this, we want you to send us your memories of South Hill Park from 1973 onwards. Whether it’s your favourite performance, a piece of work you created or a stroll through our gardens, we want to see and celebrate your experiences.
Please send a photo and short description of your South Hill Park memories to anna.seymour@nullsouthhillpark.org.uk
Please note these will be shared on our social media channels in celebration of our 50th anniversary.
