On Tuesday 6th August, a 'Party in the Park' was held for young people aged 11-18 on the cricket green opposite Tesco in Caterham-on-the-Hill hosted by The Arc arts and recreation centre in partnership with Surrey Youth Support Service.

One of the activities for the youngsters was a graffiti workshop run by graffiti artist, Julian Johnson. Children spray painted canvas with their favourite colours and then Julian sprayed their name over the top in a graffiti style. Katey Beard, who joined in the graffiti workshop, enjoyed the opportunity to try her hand at graffiti art and said she was looking forward to hanging her artwork in her room at home.

The event also featured live music from local bands such as 'The Blue Pursuit' a four-piece rock/alternative band from Nutfield.
