On the 21st September, your friendly local community centre along with St. Michaels and All Angels is throwing open its doors for a whole day of fun and festivities to celebrate how great the community of Windmill Hill is! So, if you’re local, come and join in. Let’s make this a big ol’ party! (Of course, people from off the hill are more than welcome to join -We’re not elevationist!)
We’re planning on packing out the day with loads of fun activities and taster sessions from our regular roster of classes so we can bring our wonderful community together. There’ll be cake! There’ll be jumping! There’ll be a whole evening packed full of the finest bands Bedminster has to offer!
Check in below for our full schedule including timings of when various events are happening, so don’t miss out!
So far, the plan is:
- From 2-4pm Our small hall will be full of the best of our area’s voluntary groups – come and find out the magnificent work being done in our Community. Amongst the groups will be VPAG (Victoria Park Action Group), BS3 Wildlife Group, Boys & Girls Brigade, Window Wanderland, Bedminster Station gardening group, WHaM (Windmill Hill and Malago Planning Group) and ILOP (Improving the Lives of Older People) . There will be some children’s activities run by the Lantern Parade and the Woodcraft Folk. Community Centre representatives will be on hand to find out what local people want from the Community Centre going into the future.
- Volunteers from the church will be serving refreshments and delicious homemade cakes during the afternoon
- The church lawn will be open for play and relaxation (Hopefully the weather will be nice – If not there’s plenty of room inside the Community Centre!)
