Hyde Park Unity Day's Interests
General
Woodhouse Moor
Hyde Park Unity Day is a day of celebration for the local community to show the best of whom we are.The community had lost a local Pub, the 'Newlands' through riots in 1995, which attracted intense national media coverage and this led to a negative portrayal of the area which we as a community had to come to terms with ourselves. Hyde Park Unity Day is an association of individuals who give their time and talents freely to create a day celebrating our area and our diversity.
We have a Management Committee to help us stay on course with budgeting and planning and Area Co-ordinators who organise the various tasks that have to be done to ensure a day everyone can enjoy.
Every year there is a core of people that have been involved in previous years, but we are always on the look out for new talent.
Hyde Park Unity Day was initiated by the Hyde Park Residents Association and has continued with yearly volunteers with the mission to :
* Create a relaxed friendly and safe environment.
* Unite the community and provide an opportunity to highlight the positive aspects of living,
working, and studying in Hyde Park .
* Demonstrate communities strength through voluntary involvement.
* Celebrate cultural diversity through
art,music and performance.
* Create a focus point for community activities.
* Unite and provide opportunities to showcase skills, talent and nature of local people and artists.
UNITY DAY is an opportunity for anyone or group
to show their creative flair.
Woodhouse Moor takes on it's own personality during the day
with community stalls and local organisations.
Sporting and skateboard competitions happen to challenge any and all.
Local entertainers, Artists, bands, breakdancers,bingo callers
all prove that Unity Day is there for everyone to get involved in.
Co-ordinating the different areas is open to all.

It seems like years since the last Moorfest happened and to be honest I think the weather was very much a factor in whether people enjoyed themselves or not. Some thrived in the mud whilst others wept until their dads could pick them up. Moorfest is still carving an identity for itself and in the three years that it has been established I think I can say that the one thing that most people love about it is the friendly atmosphere, and this gig is a good opportunity to meet up with friends that perhaps you haven't seen since the festival, to make new friends, enjoy quality music, get a flavour of Moorfest if you haven't already been and also to talk to the organisers in order to give your opinions on how to improve the festival. We'll also be projecting your favourite photos that you've taken from previous Moorfests to create a live mashup that will adorn the walls of the Brudenell so please send them to bandsformoorfest@yahoo.co.uk and make sure that everyone in the picture is cool for you to use them like this.
There'll be much more to boot like gorgeous organic food, t-shirt stall, films and raffles to win tickets to Moorfest 4 which we're working on right now and aim to make it the best yet.
We really appreciate your continued support in making Moorfest what it is and hope to see you all there.
