A POPULAR community festival is returning to Amblecote this summer, with residents across Dudley and the wider Black Country invited to enjoy a weekend of family-friendly entertainment at Withymoor Fields.
Amblecote Party in the Park 2026 will take place on Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9, running from 12pm to 6pm each day at Withymoor Fields, Turners Lane.
The two-day event, part of the Black Country Festival, promises a packed programme including a funfair, a range of market stalls, food vendors, licensed bars and live entertainment throughout the weekend.
Organised by former Amblecote councillor Kamran Razzaq, the festival aims to bring together families, friends and neighbours from across the area.
Saturday’s line-up includes a camper van show, while Sunday will feature a classic car show, showcasing a collection of vintage and cherished vehicles.
"Party in the Park is all about bringing our community together for a fantastic weekend of fun," Mr Razzaq said.
"It’s a chance for local families, friends and neighbours to enjoy everything our area has to offer, while supporting local traders and community organisations.
"We’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of people to Withymoor Fields and making this our biggest event yet."
The Dudley Liberal Democrat Group will also be at the event with a community stall, where visitors can meet councillors and campaigners, discuss local issues and, for a bit of light-hearted fundraising, throw a wet sponge at a councillor in aid of Black Country Foodbank.
Councillor Andrew Tromans joked: "Although not ostensibly the fault of my group as we do not run Dudley Council, we thought it might be therapeutic for residents to have the opportunity to let off some steam about missed bin collections and potholes."
Entry to Party in the Park is free, with activities running from midday until 6pm on both days.
