Maidenhead & Windsor

Summer comes to Maidenhead town centre on Friday July 28 with four hours of things to see and do – and to help get everyone into the mood for holidays and the great outdoors.

Maidenhead Town Partnership has teamed up with popular local radio station Time fm to bring its roadshow into town for four hours of music, chat and summer fun with Adrian Brookbank, who will be presenting his daily mid-morning show live from High Street between 10am and 2pm.

With Time fm getting out and about, the partnership felt this was a good opportunity to give Maidenhead residents and shoppers the opportunity to explore different events and activities scheduled for the summer – so the town will be buzzing with demonstrations, information stalls and people to speak to about what's in store.

Linking with the Maidenhead Royal Borough's summer activity programme for 13-19-year-olds, there will be demonstrations of sports and leisure activities being held in leisure centres, sports grounds, parks and open spaces. Fitness instructors from the Magnet Leisure Centre's BodyZone and from the David Lloyd centre will be on hand to give advice about exercise and health.

For people who are pondering a summer time career or training change, the Centre for Developing Connections will be on hand to give advice about training and development opportunities. And, thinking about reducing summertime crime in the town centre, there will be information about how businesses help the police tackle anti-social behaviour and criminal activity.

Jane Wright, partnership vice-chairman, said this event would be a great way to kick off the summer in Maidenhead. She said: "Schools will have finished up earlier in the week and most people won't be heading off on their holidays just yet – so here's a terrific opportunity to come into Maidenhead for Friday morning shopping and enjoy the entertainment."

Cllr Simon Werner, Maidenhead partnership chairman, added: "The town partnership is keen to promote more activities and events in the town centre and this is the first of what we hope will be an exciting programme starting in the autumn.

"Everyone's invited to the summer party in Maidenhead on Friday July 28. Turn up and enjoy the fun."
