Councillor David Trimble, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Culture and Customers for Nottingham City Council said:
''It's really great that as a Council we can provide a range of events and entertainment to meet the various interests and tastes of people who live, work, study or visit Nottingham. Wollaton Park is a beautiful location in which to stage this type and scale of event and I'm sure everyone who attends will have a fantastic afternoon. Nottingham City Council offers an amazing summer events programme, from the long-standing Riverside festival, to the more recent Beach in the Square. Splendour will be taking place just a day before this Wollaton Classics event so it's sure to be a busy weekend and a busy summer here in Nottingham.''
