OLYMPIC TORCH COMES TO FRYENT


Olympic Torch Relay – 25th July
The Torch Relay arrives at the Brent border with Harrow at 10am and will travel along Harrow Road, Wembley High Road, the Stadium, and up to Kingsbury via Brent Town Hall to leave the borough into Barnet at 12:15. Live coverage of the Torch Relay as it travels around the country can be found on the BBC website.
There will be parking suspensions along the route and a rolling road closure. Buses will be re-directed. Businesses and residents affected by the parking restrictions will be contacted via letter. Brent Magazine will have details of the route and recommended places to stand. After the relay spectators will be encouraged to visit the event the in the park:
Brent Celebrates the Flame; 25 July; 12noon- 7.00pm King Edward VII Park
A free event, open to everyone that aims to celebrate the Olympic torch relay passing through the borough. This park event is expected to attract a family audience of about 4,000 people.
Residents are encouraged to bring picnics and blankets to enjoy a laid back afternoon event in the park, watching performances, taking part in workshops, or trying some of the diverse food that will be available to buy. This event falls within Brent Dance Month so it is expected that dance will feature strongly on the day.
