The Best Mates Summer Party is back 💙☀️

After the success of last year, we’re coming back even bigger for year two, and we’d love you to join us.

📅 8th August 2026
⏰ 12:00 pm – 5:30 pm
📍 Town Gardens Bowl, Swindon, SN1 4EX

This is set to be an incredible afternoon full of community, connection, and summer festival vibes, with so many amazing people coming together in true Best Mates style.

Expect DJs, a drinks bar, food stalls, good energy, and plenty more throughout the day. Most importantly, it’s a chance for people to come out, spend time together, and celebrate the community we continue to build.

This event wouldn’t happen without the incredible volunteers and people behind the scenes who give their time to make days like this possible, and that’s what Best Mates is all about. People showing up for each other.

Everyone is welcome, so bring your mates, bring the family, and be part of a brilliant summer afternoon with us.
