Please volunteer and help by

Preparing the street from 10 am, sweeping & putting up bunting
Put out garden tables, pasting tables, tablecloths, chairs, whatever you have…
Bring food and drink enough to share – for the BBQ (meat/vegetarian), a salad, a pudding or favourite dish – charcoal for the BBQ
Donate small gift items for the tombola to Duncan and Aoife at 39 Sulina Road before or on the day
Can you make a cake (or apple or cherry pie?) for Guess the Weight of the Cake?

 PLEASE PARK ELSEWHERE ON THAT DAY

Sulina Road will be closed from 10 am to 8 pm

It would be great to have the entire length of the street for our activities and for the children to play safely.

Thank you!

And see you there!

Reclaim the street


We hope everyone is OK after the really sad events this August. I can't think of a better way to show a gentler and more fun side of our community than our upcoming street party in early September.

You should have received the details by email or via our newsletter. If not, get in touch.

Can't wait.
