About Kempson Players
Bromyard Recreational Ground, better known as Kempson Players, is a fully independent, volunteer-run charity dedicated to providing a safe, fun and accessible playground for the families of Bromyard, Herefordshire.
Every improvement, repair, and upgrade is made possible solely through community generosity and charitable support.
Our mission is simple: to protect and maintain a space that belongs to Bromyard, for Bromyard.
History of Kempson Players
Back in 1946 Lucy Kempson Gifted the land and it was officially set aside as a recreation ground for the benefit of Bromyard.
Then in 1973 it became a Charity with the official name, Bromyard Recreation Ground, being adopted later on.
However, the name Kempson Players remains how locals know the land. This is our way of remembering the gift Lucy Kempson gave the people of Bromyard.
The Kempson Players Committee was formed in 2017, when the park ran into disrepair and the Council condemned the Equipment on safety grounds. With the threat of the park being closed our small Committee was formed. We are a small group of volunteers, each bringing something different to the table.
