Floral, Musical, and Athletic Festival at Springfield Park, Lancaster, 1865. Creator: Unknown
Floral, Musical, and Athletic Festival at Springfield Park, Lancaster, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by John Holmes, of a cultural event. The park...kindly lent for the public enjoyment by Mrs. Ripley...is a fine level piece of ground, with an elevation leading up to Springfield Hall. On...the elevation, under the shade of some fine lofty trees, was the inclosure and pavilion for ladies. A little further to the south, under the shade of some fine umbrageous trees, was placed the tent for the flower show, while the refreshment and other tents were placed in different parts of the grounds round about...The whole of the first day was devoted to the flower show and a brass band contest; whilst the proceedings on the second day were of a miscellaneous character, consisting of contests in athletics, gymnastics, vocal music, and part-singing; the flower show also remained open. The object of the latter was to give the gentry and nurserymen of the town and neighbourhood an opportunity of displaying some of the produce of their gardens...and to encourage gardening among the working classes, and children, or inmates of hospitals, asylums, and workhouses, by awarding prizes for the best specimens of flowers, fruit, and vegetables'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
**Step back in time to a vibrant celebration at Springfield Park, Lancaster**
In this print from 1865, we're transported to a lively festival that brought together music, flowers, and athletic pursuits. The Floral, Musical, and Athletic Festival was held at the picturesque Springfield Park, kindly lent by Mrs. Ripley for public enjoyment.
The scene is set amidst lush greenery and stately trees on the park's elevation leading up to Springfield Hall. To one side lies a shaded enclosure for ladies' comfort, while nearby tents showcased an array of flowers in all their glory - part of the festival's mission to encourage gardening among local residents, including working-class individuals, children, and those from hospitals, asylums, and workhouses.
The first day was dedicated to flower shows and brass band contests. The second day featured a diverse range of activities: athletic competitions, gymnastics demonstrations, vocal music performances - all set amidst the beautiful park surroundings. This enchanting print captures the essence of community spirit in 19th-century England, where people came together to celebrate their shared passions.
