Escape to the Park 2008 was held on Saturday 29 November in King’s Park. Performing were Abbe May & The Rockin Pneumonia, Kate Miller-Heidke, Bob Evans, Ben Lee and The Cruel Sea.
It was a lovely day for a picnic, and that’s what most did, as it’s not the kind of festival where there’s a lot of dancing, as there’s only a small area at the side of the stage suitable for that.
