Community Food Share Festival
Sunday, 29th June – Park Road (outside CommUnity Corner)
Join us for an afternoon celebrating the flavours and cultures that make our community special. We’re closing Park Road for the afternoon and opening it up to the people to create a space where neighbours can connect over shared food, art, music and poetry.
The idea is simple: bring a dish that means something to you – perhaps a family recipe, something from your heritage, or just a favourite you’d love others to try. All food will be freely shared, with nothing for sale.
Throughout the day, we’ll enjoy local musicians, a poetry recital, and community art that explore our themes of humanity and celebration.
If you’ve never cooked for a crowd but want to try, we can provide support and kitchen space for anyone who’d like to prepare something for the event.
We have two meet up events in May on the 21st & 24th from 10am – 11am, where you can drop in, get advice, and meet other neighbourhood cooks. If you can’t make those dates, just droop into CommUnity Corner in opening hours and chat to us.
Let’s eat and strengthen the bonds that make our neighbourhood welcoming for everyone.
This free community event aims to bring people together across all backgrounds and celebrate our shared humanity.
