Free community picnic in Gloucester Park with food tasters, arts, music, wellbeing activities and family-friendly connection.

Jointly organised by Gloucester Park Community Group and Bas Arts Index CIC, this free community picnic brings residents together through shared food, creativity, music, wellbeing and community connection.

This is a relaxed, family-friendly gathering bringing residents together through shared food, creativity, music, wellbeing and community connection. There will be gentle arts activities, space for children and families, local creative contributions, and some home-cooked community food tasters.

For us, creativity is not only painting or performance, it can also be cooking, gardening, making, sharing stories, caring for the park, and bringing people together. These picnics are about celebrating the everyday creativity that already exists in our community.

What we have in store for 12th September:

Arts and crafts

Tai Chi

Live music

Food tasters from around the world

Games for all

Everyone is welcome. Bring a picnic blanket, your own snacks or lunch if you’d like, and come spend time with neighbours in a welcoming outdoor space.

Join us for the last picnic for the Summer and hear about plans for the Autumn.
