Join us for our Family Flourish Day - a joyful summer celebration held in the Roxby Community Garden as part of Refugee Week 2025.
Expect a vibrant mix of performances, creative workshops, and hands-on activities for all ages - plus delicious food and plenty of garden joy.
This year, we’ll be joined by Chapel FM, Clowns Without Borders, Harmony Choir, Kuluhenna Drama, Playbox (delivered in partnership with Playful Anywhere CIC), the Lincoln Greeners, Lifelong Learning Centre and Space2. There’ll be dance workshops led by Cookie Wang and Enisia Mashusha, family-friendly stalls, and interactive activities throughout the day. You can even bring your bike along for a free health check and minor repairs from Leeds Bike Mill’s friendly mechanics!
The event is free to attend and everyone is welcome — come dance, eat, play and celebrate with us!
