There was a chance to relax in the sunshine after sampling Regency cooking, listen to live music or marvel at the magician’s tricks. A superb display chronicling the history of the Bedford Square also attracted a great deal of interest.

Costumed revellers handed out Regency delights like game pie and ginger cake, while visitors relaxed in the sunshine and listened to the live band. A fantastic display chronicling the people and stories of Bedford Square’s 200-year history was a great crowd-puller.

Liam Mandville, from the Friends of Bedford Square, said, “It’s been a terrific day. I’ve never seen so many people in the park before. Everybody’s having a great time and it was nice to see BBC Television filming the goings on.”

Young party-goers were captivated by Colin the Clown and his fabulous magic tricks, while many queued up to be transformed into tigers and fairies by the talented face-painter. Those with energy to spare had great fun on the bouncy castle.
