The sun shone brightly yesterday, as over 2,000 people from villages across our local policing beat area gathered to celebrate the Repton Village Party.

Held on the Mitre Field in the heart of the village, the event proved to be bigger and better than ever before.

The event aims to bring the whole village together in an afternoon of traditional activities and entertainment.

Dozens of local groups were present including the Scouts, Brownies, Rainbows, Womens’ Institute, Repton Community Choir, Repton History Group, PKBS Karate Group, St Wystans School, Repton Primary School, Repton Casuals, Newton Solney Pre-School, and Repton Parish Council.

Mercia Safer Neighbourhood Team were delighted to engage with the local community throughout the event.
