About

Chestnut Sunday is a much-anticipated, family-friendly celebration held annually in Bushy Park. This cherished event pays homage to the magnificent blossom of the horse chestnut trees that line Chestnut Avenue, an iconic feature of the park planted over 300 years ago. The event serves as a vibrant community gathering, combining tradition, entertainment, and a celebration of local culture.
A highlight of Chestnut Sunday is the colourful parade that proceeds down Chestnut Avenue, showcasing an array of performers, vintage vehicles, and community groups. Visitors can also enjoy a lively funfair with rides and attractions suitable for all ages, making it a delightful experience for families.
Additionally, the event features an array of stalls hosted by local organisations, charities, and community groups. These stalls offer a variety of activities, information, and goods, providing an opportunity to support and engage with the local community. Chestnut Sunday is not only a celebration of the park's natural beauty but also a testament to the spirit and unity of the people who attend.
