All Fun and Games on Saturday

Having a street party is great fun, a wonderful way to get to know the neighbours and create shared experiences for young and old.


There will be a wide variety of activities for young and old and a lovely space to catch up with our neighbours.  (the road is closed from 2-7pm)


We know many of our neighbours by face but may have forgotten names. To make it easier for everyone we will have labels for you to put your name and house number on. That way no embarrassing moments and easier flowing conversations.

If you have a table, some chairs, gazebo, paper plates and cups, bunting etc, feel free to use it on the day. The more the merrier.

Books and bric a brac items can be donated to Alison number 71


We have put some balloons (Winter Comfort and The Big Lunch) through people's letter boxes, if you would not mind blowing one up and hanging it on your gate, it will cheer up the street without me having to go light headed!

This year we have Mollie the Trike come,  which is homemade ice cream, made by Elizabeth. All profit on the day she will donate to Winter Comfort.

Are you musical? If so, we would love to hear some life music on the street.

Edmund of number 13 will be leading the ceilidh at 5pm so hopefully we can get many of you on the dance floor (street)


We are planning to set up a Residents Association and will be having our first meeting on Monday 22nd June in St Luke's Church hall at 8pm. More about this on one of the stalls in the street (Deborah Latham)

There will be plenty of lovely things to do for the little ones, biscuit decorating organised by the helpers of Metropolitan housing, Street games like hop scotch,  skipping etc will be facilitated by Helen and her daughter of the Sunflower Day Nursery.
Lucky dip,
Guess the number of balloons in car,
And  placing your pin on the world map.  (find your country of origin and mark it with a pin, to show what an amazing diverse cultural street we live in)
