Emberton Park is celebrating its 60th birthday on 12 – 13 July with a weekend packed full of fun, family activities and a strong focus on sustainability.
Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities and attractions (from 10am – 4pm):
- A live music stage
- Children’s entertainment from MK Play Association
- The Great Gappo Juggling Workshop
- Falconry displays
- A 17th century cavalry performance from 16th Lancers Display Troop
- Meet blue light services and explore their vehicles
- Emmetts funfair, with 1960s themed rides
- A wide selection of food and craft stalls
As part of their commitment to the local community and greener living, SUEZ will be hosting an educational stall featuring recycling-themed games, the chance to win prizes, and an up-close look at one of their state-of-the-art refuse collection vehicles (RCV). Visitors of all ages can learn more about waste reduction, reuse and how they're helping Milton Keynes become a cleaner, greener place to live.
They are also proud to sponsor local community group Bike Dr, who will be offering free bike health checks, basic repairs, and hands-on workshops at their stall across the weekend. With trained mechanics on hand, it’s a fantastic opportunity for residents to keep their bikes in top shape and pick up valuable repair skills. Glendale, who look after the city’s ground maintenance, will also be hosting a wood carving and tree maintenance demonstration.
In line with the event’s sustainability goals, Milton Keynes City Council is encouraging attendees to travel to the park by bike. A guided group cycle ride will take place on Sunday 13 July, offering a safe and enjoyable way for families and individuals to get to the event while reducing their carbon footprint.

SUEZ will also be helping to keep the park pristine by supporting the clean-up operation throughout the event.
Peter Marshall, Contract Manager at SUEZ, said: “We are committed to supporting communities and promoting sustainable habits. We believe local communities play a key role in building a more sustainable future, and we are proud to be part of this celebration that brings people together and encourages positive change.”
They invite everyone to join them for a weekend of fun and learning as they celebrate six decades of Emberton Park.
