C in the Park: Event Information
Hey everyone,
Just a few reminders about C in the Park for Friday.
You will be aware from all our publicity that tickets were on sale 24th May to 7th June, this was for a number reasons:
- To ensure we have enough materials to cater for everyone coming. We ordered resources on 9th June based on the ticket sales
- To get an estimate of numbers, in order to keep everyone safe, as this is our first whole nursey and school event
- For admin purposes: We had specific time blocked off (during a busy time of year) to organise tickets and we knew this week we would be running a short staffed office
Those who have ordered a ticket and haven’t yet received one, will receive it on Thursday.
Anyone still desperate for a ticket, can collect one from the office at 3:00-3:30pm on Thursday, cash only. We would request that these tickets are only for families of Calderwood Primary and Nursery and one adult per family (to ensure we have enough resources available/ space). Due to it being such a busy time of year, please refrain from emailing or phoning about the tickets as we may not be able to respond.
Timings: 1pm-3pm
Access: Through the playground, no access through reception. (Although we have toilets available, we would request that you try and use the toilet before attending). Entrance is by a ticket lanyard only, and these will not be sold on the day, we would request that you don’t put champions in an awkward position by showing up without a ticket. Under 2s do not require a lanyard.
Parking: There is only access to the carpark for those offering services at C in the Park and for blue badge holders.
Your ticket gets you access to all areas:
- Football and Dance on the field
- Games on the playground grass area
- Arts & Crafts – Cafe and STEM Studio

There will be donation buckets for any loose change.
Food traders in the carpark are open to the whole community:

In the event of heavy rain, some activities will be moved inside (fingers crossed!) … If there are changes, we will update you on Friday morning.
Dress down day: Children can come to school and nursery on Friday in their C in the Party festival wear, or dress down (no donation required).
Kind regards,
