Lockleaze Community Feasts

We’re really pleased to announce that in 2025 we will be working with members of the Lockleaze community to put on eight Community Feasts! Each feast will be an opportunity to come together over free food, celebrate our community and most importantly to make new connections and enjoy each others' company. Some of the feasts will be created in partnership with the amazing 91 ways, who are experts in creating beautiful events that bring people together over food. The feasts will be spread throughout the year, and each will feature food to share and a theme for us to come together around.

The first Community Feast was Lockleaze Community Iftar, on Saturday 22nd March. This event was organised by residents to celebrate Ramadan and bring our whole community together over a shared meal. You can read more about it here- a massive thank you to our wonderful residents who planned, co-hosted and attended. “A wonderful way to bring people together to help our community grow.”

In April we had our second feast, focused on families. Seventy people attended to share a Turkish meal made by Fatma with support from 91 ways. Bristol Civil Service Table Tennis Club offered free coaching on the table tennis table, and the children and families had a lovely time getting to know each other. We also had lots of new additions to the Lockleaze Wildlife Map, and opportunities to think together about how we can all contribute to our community You can read more about the feast here.

Our next community feast is Friday 16th May at The Hub, 5pm - 7pm.

Join us for an Ideas Feast where we'll share food and your ideas about what you can bring to Lockleaze. If you've got an idea for a new group, activity, event or a skill you want to share, come to the feast and tell us all about it. We can't wait to see you. RSVP at 0117 914 1129, at the Hub or at maria@lockleazent.co.uk.
