The Summer Days Street Party takes place on Saturday (June 21).

Free to attend, the action gets underway at 11am, coming to close at 6pm.

This year the event has doubled in size, with the road closure extending all the way to Picutredrome, meaning that businesses such as Baked By Bean and Rubens will be included in the street food offering.

There is also a bigger kids craft area at Spiveys Web with dress up, Lego and summer solstice themed crafts.

Organisers have even booked some bands and dancers for the day who will be performing on a bigger stage down by the Chestergate street painting.
