The Stages are set – we just need you to help us bring them alive!

Our new community café is open and the outdoor performance stage is almost complete — now we need you to help bring them to life with local stories, passions, and creativity.

We’re inviting residents to share a talk, demonstration, or performance as part of a new community-led series celebrating local voices and talents. Whether it’s a hobby, skill, life story, or piece of local history — if you are passionate about it, we want to hear about it.

No stage experience needed — just enthusiasm.

This is your chance to:

• Share what you know or love

• Connect with your community

• Inspire others with your voice

Events will be relaxed, friendly, and supported by the council team. You choose your format — a solo talk, a casual interview, a skill-share, or even a creative performance.

Suggested Ideas could include:

• “Passions & Pastimes” – local hobbies, from beekeeping to bookbinding.

• “My Life, My Journey” – inspiring or reflective life stories.

• “Skill Share” – practical ‘how to’ sessions like cooking demos, tech tutorials, etc.

• “Hidden Histories” – local stories and family legacies.

• “Youth Voice” – talks from local young people on what matters to them.
