Sad news - Big Lunch Picnic Cancelled 🌧

We're really sorry to share that we've had to cancel this Saturday's Big Lunch Picnic.

With heavy rain and high winds forecast right at peak time, and some key parts of the event no longer able to go ahead, we've made the difficult decision that it simply isn't safe or viable to run it this year.

We know many of you were looking forward to it - so were we!

But here's the good news: we're hoping to come back on Saturday 1st August! Same picnic spirit, fingers crossed for sunshine. Pencil in that date and we'll confirm and share more details soon.

Thank you for your understanding and support. Fingers' crossed we can celebrate with you all in August! β˜€οΈπŸ€ž

Walk, Cycle, Bus β€” Please Skip the Car!

Friendly reminder: parking near Diglis Fields is very limited on event day.

Walking or cycling is genuinely the easier option, frees up spaces for those who need them most, and gets you warmed up for the dancing!

If you're further away, Beryl Bikes & local buses are a great option.

πŸ™‹ Could You Spare a Few Hours for the Big Lunch?

We couldn't do these events without support from the community, making them truly community events.

We're looking for a handful of wonderful volunteers to help make this year's Big Lunch a success!

We need people to help with set-up in the morning, pack-down at the end, and a friendly face or two to welcome people at the start of the day.

We're also especially looking for someone who'd enjoy supporting our children's activities area β€” if you love working with kids, have an enhanced DBS certificate, and want to be part of the fun, we'd love to hear from you! πŸŽ‰

Volunteering at community events like this is genuinely one of the nicest ways to spend a Saturday morning β€” you'll meet great people and get to see the whole thing come together.

Drop us a message if you're interested!
