Devonport Park Bandstand to be completed by end of May 2012!!
Funds have now been secured and a contractor appointed, after consultation by Plymouth City Council and the FDP, for the completion of the Bandstand. The winning contractors are “Andy Thornton”, (www.andythornton.com) who will begin work on the Bandstand very soon. All works should be completed by Easter 2012.
The FDP would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who has helped and supported our appeal and are very excited indeed about our new bandstand. Perhaps our new choir will become a regular feature on it’s stage? That’s right folks, our new choir! See our “news” page for more information.
And don’t despair if you haven’t yet purchased your very own Victorian paving slab to immortalise your loved one around the bandstand - due to it’s popularity, we have extended the number of slabs available and there are still some left. See below for more details.

The Bandstand and “Buy A Brick Campaign”!
Thank you to the many people and organisations who have already purchased a “brick” (victorian paving slab), immortalising their loved one’s or other names, or company details in the upcoming design of the new Devonport Park Bandstand. Despite now having the necessary funds and as a result of it’s popularity, we are still continuing to raise funds towards projects within the park by selling these Victorian bricks. Details on how to purchase a brick are below.
The current new deadline for purchases is the 28th Feb 2012.
The starting price for individuals is £25 per brick (Victorian paver) and if you are interested I would act quickly as they are selling out fast!
For more details, contact Mike Gallagher at 01752 213308 or by email using
mikegallagher@friendsofdevonportpark.co.uk
Please remember that we are a completely voluntary group who are entirely dependent upon donations in order to continue our work in our beautiful historic Devonport Park.
To donate to the bandstand fund, click on the PayPal donation link below or contact Mike Gallagher by email or on 01752 213308.
