WINCHESTER campaigners are holding a Party in the Park this month to highlight their battle.

The Friends of River Park are battling plans by the city council to dispose of part of River Park and the River Park Leisure Centre to Southampton University.

They argue that the whole park was given in trust to the people of Winchester in the early 20th century and should not be be sold to a private institution.

It is challenging the decision in the High Court.

The party will on Sunday September 18 from noon until 4pm.
