Blencathra Close Street Party, June 2022
We held a street party on Friday 3rd June on Blencathra Close, Thornaby. We had activities including a bouncy castle, music, paddling pool, trampoline, quiz, photo prop, pin the crown on the queen, a royal scavenger hunt, buffet lunch and an evening BBQ. We partied from 12pm to 8pm and enjoyed the most glorious weather. It was great to see the neighbourhood in such great spirits, taking the time to enjoy the celebrations. We decorated with bunting and flags and made fantastic use of the party pack provided by Stockton Borough Council.
