Have a little Heart

Heart in the Park

I've recently been doing a bit of work experience with Heart FM as a Heart Angel. This involves being a Heart FM representative and helping with events, which is great fun and also very rewarding. 

A few weeks ago I worked at Heart in the Park which was part of the Barclaycard British Summertime event in Hyde Park. Heart in the Park was a huge family event on the 14th July, which hosted food stalls, funfair rides, and entertainment from acts such as Stooshe, Eliza Doolittle, Beverly Knight, J-Lo and the headliner Lionel Richie!

We got there at 10 o'clock before the gates opened and were lucky enough to J-Lo doing her soundcheck which was brilliant. It was lovely seeing the park all up before people were there as we got to have a good look around at all the cute little stalls and shops that had a very British theme. 

When the gates opened we were greeting the public as they came in and high-fiving them with the Heart foam hands. We were also taking photos of groups or families which went on to the Heart FM website. Some of the other Heart angels were handing our flags and were all face painting for free which was a hugely popular which the children and ladies!

For the rest of the day we were taking pictures of the crowds and handing out posters for them to hold up for the headlining acts. All of the Heart merchandise was so popular that we had to keep going back to get more! It was one of the hottest days of the year which helped to make the day a huge success and the feedback from the crowds was very positive. 

I also had a fab time working at the event as I got to watch the acts, interact with the public and have an amazing day out at the same time!
