'A record turnout saw Hotham Park in Bognor
Regis ring with the sound of Christmas music.
Some 600 people made the
latest, and fifth, Carols in the Park concert the biggest success yet. A
clear and still night on Saturday, December 6, prompted the large number
along for a festive hour of Christmas cheer led by the Bognor Regis
Concert Band and members of the Glenwood Choir. Event organiser Diana
Strachan, of the Hotham Park heritage Trust, said: "It was quite a magical
night. Families and friends, old and young, and some in fancy hats lit up
the darkness of the park with their torches, lanterns and smiles."
She thanked all those
involved in the popular event including St John Ambulance volunteers and
the Town Force team.
Carols in the Park is an
annual event supported by West Sussex County Council and Arun District
Council.'
