The first of four Sunday Summer Concerts in Bents Park took place yesterday (July 9) as The Vamps took to the stage.

Bents Park was packed as Lauren Amour, The Waiters and Henry Moodie formed the support acts for the afternoon.

Still to play Bents Park later this month is Jason Donovan (July 16), Bjorn Again (July 23) and Boyzlife (July 30).

Our photographer, Stu Norton, was in Bents Park on Sunday afternoon to capture the atmosphere.
