A massive thank you to all the residents who attended our second community feast.

Over 70 of you came and we had a lovely time.

Our Aim is to create a number of regular community feasts across 2025 to bring our community together in Lockleaze, our home.

Thanks for having us. It was nice to get people together and talking.

Lots of people of different ages and ethnic backgrounds sit smiling along a long table with food and bunting

Great to have so many of the community in one room eating together, meeting different people, seeing new faces and sharing fab food.

For this feast we partnered with 91 Ways who supported resident Fatma to prepare a delicious Turkish buffet which everyone enjoyed. The opportunity to try new foods is a great part of these events. To find out more about 91Ways click here.

Really nice food, everyone enjoyed it a lot.

Its really nice to see everyone in the community eating together, it feels like a family gathering.

We also welcomed the Bristol Civil Service Table Tennis coaches Terry, Vivian, Tony, Ian and Colin who came to coach residents for free, which was very popular. To find out more about our local table tennis club click here. Having fun and making the most of our neighbourhood together is a big part of what Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust do. Don’t forget you can borrow bats and balls from the Hub if you fancy a game.

Thank you for organising the table tennis coaches - we will join the club as it’s so close.

three people play table tennis on Gainsborough Square. Two people watch on. There are flowerbeds and trees.
