It’s not every day you see your parish priests locked up in wooden stocks getting pelted with wet sponges, but this was just one of the highlights of the St Peter’s Church Party in the Park last week.
The event at Faraday Gardens last Saturday had something for all the family, from a helter skelter slide to a tug-of-war. There was also face painting, music, fairground games, a merry-go-round and food and drink stalls.
The Mayor of Southwark, Cllr Dora Dixon-Fyle, joined in the fun and games, as did newly-elected MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark Neil Coyle, who was entrusted with drawing the raffle for a camera phone.
