Community Connecting Autumn Lunch

Saturday 19 September 2026 (12–2.30pm)

Join us for a pay-what-you-can vegetarian lunch in the beautiful setting of Martineau Gardens.

It’s the perfect way to enjoy the last of the sunshine and share lunch and conversation with fellow visitors, our team and volunteers.

Everyone’s welcome – bring a friend, neighbour, or family members.

To help us plan catering, we’d really appreciate it if you could book a space in advance via the link below.

Friday 30 October 2026 (3.00-5.00pm)
Saturday 31 October 2026 (11am-1pm and 3.00-5.00pm)

Join us for some outdoor autumn activities this October half term: scavenger hunt, pond dipping, smelly potions, crafts and more!

Ages: the event is suitable for children aged 3-10

Price: £8.50 per child (plus Eventbrite fee, pay in our office to avoid the Eventbrite fee) for a 2-hour session; adults are not charged and entrance to Martineau Gardens is free.

Come and enjoy the colours, textures, tastes and sounds of autumn at our family activity sessions on:

Friday 30 October 2026 – Afternoon session: 3.00 to 5.00pm

Saturday 31 October 2026 – Morning session: 11.00 to 1.00pm

Saturday 31 October 2026 – Afternoon session 3.00 to 5.00pm

This is family learning, and a parent or other adult is required to join in the activity (but does not need to pay). Additional adults are welcome, but due to space constraints, they may not be able to join in the activity (there is plenty to explore in the gardens during the session).

Please dress appropriately for the weather, since the session will take place outside (in the gardens and in a gazebo). Please note that Martineau Gardens serves hot and cold drinks (donations welcome) but not food.

Please note, advance booking is essential. Book here (Eventbrite):
