Mark your calendars! Our second Gather and Groove community event is happening on Saturday, September 13th, 2025!
Catch British BMX Flatland World Record Holder 2023, Matti Hemmings as he shows off his skills and learn some of his moves yourself as he’ll be running free workshops. No need to bring a bike, we’ll have some at the event. Watch out for Strictly Cycling, a fun bike-based performance popping up throughout the day, plus Tim Casson’s ARCADE, a free fun dance performance filled with games and different fun ways to join in for you and all the family.
Local talent is showcased as Lordswood Dancentre’s students performance a brand new acro-dance piece, created by the uber talented Leah Wallings. They’ll also be bringing back their recent work created with hip-hop artist Lindon Barr.
Lots to see and do – plenty of opportunities to get physical, have fun and enjoy and have a good time, all on your doorstep!
