☀️🌡️ HEAT HEALTH ALERT IN PLACE 🌡️☀️

The UK Health Security Agency has issued a Yellow Heat Health Alert for the East Midlands, covering the period from 22–27 May.

With temperatures forecast to reach around 32°C on the day of the Greasley Gathering, we're looking forward to a fantastic day in the sunshine – but we want everyone to stay safe and enjoy everything the event has to offer.

✅ Wear sun cream and reapply regularly
✅ Bring a hat and dress appropriately for the weather
✅ Drink plenty of water throughout the day
✅ Take breaks in shaded areas when needed
✅ Keep an eye on children, older relatives and those who may be more vulnerable to the heat

If you're planning to take part in the FREE skateboarding sessions with Skate Nottingham, please remember that closed-toe shoes are required for safety – sandals and flip-flops cannot be worn on the ramps.

There will be free drinking water available on site, and Harry's Ices, Fizz & The Feast and Greasley Girls will be serving cold refreshments throughout the day.

We can't wait to welcome you to the Greasley Gathering on Monday – stay safe, stay hydrated, and enjoy a brilliant day out! ☀️🚌🎉

🐾 Please Pick Up After Your Dog 🐾

While marking out the event field on Dovecote Recreation Ground for the Greasley Gathering, we were disappointed to discover a significant amount of dog fouling that had not been cleaned up.

Dog mess is not only unpleasant to see (and smell!) - it poses a genuine health risk to children, families, volunteers and visitors using the park. It is also dangerous for the animals and entertainers who will be attending our events, many of whom work directly on the grassed areas.

We respectfully remind all dog owners that dogs should be kept on leads and that any mess must be picked up and disposed of responsibly. Bins are placed around the site at regular intervals to help make this easy. A small act of consideration helps keep our parks safe, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

Let's all do our bit to keep Dovecote Recreation Ground clean, safe and event-ready for the whole community. 💚
