I am writing to say thank you so much for all your hard work and valuable contribution towards the Lord Mayor’s Celebrations this weekend. Please could you pass my thanks on to the performers – Circo Rum Ba, Ba, Artizani, Ian Marchant, The Grand Theatre of Lemmings, Larkin’ About and Upper Level.

The weather could not have been any better and the World Cup just added to the feel good factor as the public came out to join in with the festivities. Audience and participants alike seemed to have a fantastic time and we could not put on such a successful event without the support and involvement of the wonderful artists and organisations.

‘All of the Fool’s Paradise artists were fantastic and true professionals as always. Many thanks to all at Fool’s Paradise for the fantastic service.’
