Eastcott Community Centre

We took a detour though the Town Gardens last night as we delivered the last of the Eastcott Community Centre newsletters and flyers for tomorrow's Eastcott Big Lunch 2026.

We're so glad we did! The rose garden in particular looks spectacular at the moment. So many beautiful colours and varieties. And the scent! 🌷 ✨

If you've not been up there lately, try and catch them while they're in all their full blooming glory.

Thank you to all of the South Swindon Parish Council gardeners and team for everything you do to gift us such a glorious park to enjoy 🌷🌺🙌

If you've not received a newsletter, we've included a digital version in the pics. If you fancy a lovely free community get together tomorrow, join us for Eastcott Big Lunch 2026.

We'll be providing free buffet food and drinks, or feel free to bring a dish to share. Plus blues and boogie music from the brilliant Bone Chapel. And free craft activities for the kids 🎶🍰 🥧☕👶

Hope to see you between 12 - 4pm at Eastcott Community Centre on Savernake Street 💖

We are still looking for some help at Repair Cafe so if you are around between 2 and 5 on Sunday afternoon please get in touch!

Volunteers and musicians needed! We are looking for a bit of extra help at next Sunday’s Repair Cafe (10th May) as some of our team can’t make it. So if you are good at fixing stuff, or if you are a musician who fancies playing a set, drop us an email on [email protected]. There’s a great atmosphere, plus free tea and cake for all volunteers! Please get in touch and help us with this amazing community event!

Chair Steph and Vice chair Anna were thrilled to attend the Restart Parliamentary Repair Cafe to network with other repair cafes and support the Reuse Declaration. The importance of grass root cafes like the Swindon Repair Café & Free Shop in this movement is valued and recognised. What a great day!
