Help us to feed community spirit at The Big Lunch on Tuesday 9th June

We'd like to invite you to our Big Lunch event on Tuesday 9th June at Headway ArtSpace.

After the great success of our European Lunch last year, we felt it would be great to get our local community together for some good food and good company. The Big Lunch will be a great opportunity to network and meet new people living and working in Blyth. And maybe we can come up with some ideas of how we tackle some of the challenges that our community faces!

All you have to do is bring some food (and some friends) to share from 1.00 – 2.30 pm.

We hope to see you there!
