CASTLE CARY'S BIG PICNIC
On Sunday 2nd June communities all over UK are sharing a Big Lunch (it's an Eden Project initiative.) The Use Less Share More group thinks a BIG PICNIC in the Millennium Woodland behind All Saints' Church would be just the thing for Castle Cary.
So we're inviting everyone to come along and join us, from 12 noon onwards 'til about 3pm. Bring an item of food to share (or just bring your own sandwiches if you prefer) and a rug or picnic chairs to sit on. We are not organising anything particular, but if you want to bring along games to play, or a guitar to strum (but no amplified music please), or your knitting, or your watercolours, or if you'd like to run some children's games, or a craft activity – please feel free to do so. If you want to let us know your ideas in advance, please email us on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. but you don't have to.
Nobody's going to be selling anything, and the event is free. Just come along and be sociable. All ages welcome, but sorry, no dogs, no glassware and no smoking.
