Party with free lunch!
SOUTHPORT residents are being invited to a summer garden party with a free picnic lunch. The event is at Southport Community Centre on Norwood Road from noon3pm on Wednesday, August 16.
The garden party – organised by Sefton CVS, the Brighter Living Partnership and the High Park Project – will celebrate the creation of a stunning new mural on the wall of the centre’s community garden.
This was chosen by local residents from a range of designs by A-level students at King George V College.
The mural and party have been made possible by a grant from the National Lottery’s Celebrate programme, aiming to bring people together to celebrate what makes their community special.
There will also be giant garden games, a “smoothie bike”, face painting, music and other attractions.
Partygoers can also bring an old boot which can be planted with flowers in the Welly Garden.
Southport Community Centre manager Philip Blocksidge said: “We’re hoping for fine weather and a very good turnout on the day, with a free picnic lunch being provided for everyone who comes along – people just need to bring their own picnic blanket if they have one or chill out on one of our party beanbags.”
Southport Community Centre is near to the junction of Norwood Road and Sussex Road/Peel Street.
