BEAM in the Park returns to Ballymoney's Riverside Park
It’s time for BEAM in the Park in Ballymoney!
BEAM (Building Empowerment and Awareness to Mind) has organised a great community day out on Sunday, August 16, in the Riverside Park in Ballymoney.
Running from 2-5pm in Riverside Park, Ballymoney, the free community event encourages people to slow down, spend time outdoors, and enjoy one another's company in one of the town's most beautiful green spaces.
Guests are encouraged to pack a picnic, bring a blanket or camping chair, and relax for an afternoon featuring gentle live music, games and activities for children, and opportunities to connect with others in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
All-day activities include face and rock painting, feed the ducks, seeds of hope, busking with Matt Calderwood, archery, playground games and much more.
There will also be entertainment from the Hegarty School of Irish Dance, Take to the Stage Musicals and Nemesis Dance.
The event follows another busy year for BEAM, which has continued to promote positive mental health and stronger community connections through a range of initiatives.
Earlier this year, over 50 volunteers took part in a community litter pick in Riverside Park, while more than 200 people gathered before dawn in May for the group's second annual Dawn Walk, sending a powerful message of hope, togetherness and community care.
