This is a FREE community event on Sunday 22nd June from 1pm-4pm at St Joseph's Church Hall in Epsom.
This is part of a network of events around the country called The Great Get Together inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.
The event is completely free, with music, food, activities and entertainment for all the family. It will be opened by The Worshipful The Mayor of Epsom & Ewell, Councillor Robert Leach
The entertainment includes songs from our much-loved Ukrainian choir, a Disney Sing-along, the Freedom Pulse Brass Band, as well as children’s entertainment and crafts, treasure hunt, henna hand-painting, artisan displays, and an assortment of games and sports including Crazy Golf.
Even though the event is free, we are inviting everyone to bring a donation of food to contribute to Good Company's Food Bank. Entry tickets need to be booked using the QR code on the flyer. This also shows the timetable of the afternoon.
From donating to volunteering, there are many ways you can get involved with
the work we do.
