About the Event
Music in the Park
Music in the Park is a vibrant, family-friendly music festival held annually in the beautiful surroundings of Belle Vue Park, Penarth. Organised by the Friends of Belle Vue Park — a dedicated group of local volunteers — the event brings together the community for an afternoon of live music featuring talented bands and artists, many of whom hail from Penarth and the surrounding area.
From rocking originals to feel-good covers, the day celebrates local talent while raising funds to support and enhance the park for everyone to enjoy. With non-stop music, activities for children, and a relaxed park atmosphere perfect for picnics and dancing, Music in the Park has become a highlight of Penarth's summer calendar. 🎉

FAQs
Why are tickets required for entry?
The increase in event management and health & safety requirements of Music in the Park has meant the format of previous years wasn't sustainable. In order for the event to continue, it needed to change. The event is organised by Friends of Belle Vue Park (FOBV), a voluntary community charity (Charity No. 1109145) that supports Belle Vue Park through enhancements and regular events. The event has attracted around 1,500 people in recent years. Significant costs include insurance, medical cover, stage & sound hire, security, toilets and more. Funds raised from ticket sales go towards these costs, with any surplus used for park improvements or community events.
Thank you for your support and understanding!
