A Big Lunch Gathering in Manchester

Eden Project Presents…

You are invited to a Big Lunch gathering, for a few hours of friendship, food and fun, bringing together community minded people, groups, organisations and partners to make connections and enjoy time together over some great food.

Date & Time: Tuesday 13th May, 10am – 2pm
Location: Altogether Otherwise, 6-10 Hanover St, Manchester M4 4BB

Altogether Otherwise is a fantastic community Hobby House space in the centre of Manchester, we are delighted that we have found them to host us – we are sure that you will love them too! With their help, we have got some fun and creative activities lined up for us to try out together on the day, including bunting making ready to dress the room for our Big Lunch, and zine making to be able to tell everyone about it afterwards!

The tasty food for our Big Lunch will be crafted by Bounceback Food, who through an enormous range of nation-wide initiatives including community kitchens, market stalls, supper clubs and foodbank deliveries, are on a mission to fight food poverty. As a real treat, we will be getting hands on in the kitchen too, alongside the chef, to create a small selection of side and sweet dishes to add to our shared table!

In the spirit of The Big Lunch, we are also inviting guests to bring a small side item of food to add to the table if they wish.  This could be anything from a bag of crisps, a piece of fruit or your favourite homemade traybake if you have a sweet tooth.  There is no pressure to bring anything at all and there will be plenty of food for everyone.

We will have a photographer with us on the day and will be sharing news of the event with local and national media, with the potential for media to join us to help encourage even more people to join in with The Big Lunch.
