United Elements of Hip Hop

There was a bank holiday party with a difference at the Bell Hotel in Old Town this weekend.

 

With hip-hop DJs, breakdancing and barbeque there was definitely a 'street-party' vibe in the air.

 

Children and adults of all ages stopped by to check out a de-commissioned ambulance getting its new face-lift with an all over graffiti paint job.

The all day charity event raised over £100 for the Cancer Research Foundation.

 

"I can't believe how well today has gone", organiser Matt Cole told us.

 

"Swindon hasn't seen an event like this for a long time and hopefully we'll be putting on a lot more."
