Our Annual Events
The Programme
The Together events team organises two annual events, primarily for residents in the South West Ward.
The events in Summer and at Christmas have a common goal – to provide free fun events for local people, boosting community spirit with as many giveaways as we can muster.
Prior to these commencing in 2021, the area had no events they could call their own.
They are very much a collaborative effort with numerous local agencies, organisations and residents helping with the planning and the event days. Event attendance averages over 300 people.
Additional ad hoc events associated with various projects can be organised throughout the year.
