Volunteers raising money for a major refurbishment of a Bristol play area are hoping to tempt people into contributing with rewards - including a family holiday. Play in St George Park is made up of a group of local parents fundraising for new equipment for the John Deasy playground since Bristol City Council says it no longer has the funds.
The group is on the way to raising all the money needed - between £300,000-£400,000 - to replace existing equipment, provide equipment for older children and resurface the ground. In a final push to get the ball rolling they are offering those who donate £440 or more to the fundraiser a holiday at the family-friendly festival Starry Skies, which takes place from July 27-30.
The reward includes two adult tickets and up to four child tickets for a weekend of camping at the festival in Herefordshire. It is worth £645, so by donating to the fundraiser in exchange for the holiday would equate to a saving of £205.
