📢 Ur community needs u 🫵

We're throwing a jamboree to celebrate all the super cool wholesome stuff happening in our area, and raise awareness for some amazing organisations working hard to improve our city.

It's going to be a bit of mash-up of a day falling somewhere between a 'freshers fair' for community groups & societies, a variety show and a village fete focusing on the NR3 community.

Very excited for Blue’s NR3 @ The Rosebery to be taking over our kitchen that day serving their famous burgers, plus naughty shawarmas, loaded fries and desserts. There'll be plenty of veggie and vegan options on the menu so everyone can get stuck in to the grub!

Come and mingle with other good eggs. People that want to bring positive change to their neighbourhood. Find out about workshops, courses, volunteering and charitable opportunities.

We'll also be showcasing some of the events and community activities that take place here at The Artichoke pub so you can sample the awesome stuff that's on offer here from week to week:

Live folk tunes from Tom Moore
& Dave Malkin of Folk By The Fire

Drop in craft workshop Norwich Making Space

An NR3 community themed Quiz with Tom Saunders

From The Heart mini poetry workshop/comp Karl No

DJ set from Guy Martin of Reel Connections CIC

Family Jam with Lucy Robottom

Seed Swap with Arti Gardeners Club

There'll be some silly naff fete games and a tombola raising money for charity run by us too! Should be a laff. Maybe we'll put Cal in the stocks and throw wet sponges at him?

The team behind Our Stories, Our Power & The Shoebox Community Hub have been giving us a little hand getting the ball rolling and will also be there to tell you about the great work they're doing.

Big shout out to Dystopian knits for coming up with the embryonic concept and pulling on her networks!

Oh it happens to be on the last day of the NR3 beer mile too!

We're back at the The Artichoke next week for our ‘Bring Your Own’ vinyl session, where you can bring along your favourite records to share with fellow music fans.

This month’s theme is ‘Cover Versions’, particularly covers you consider better than the original, and those obscure versions!

We’ll do our best to get through as many of everyone’s requests as possible, and if you would like to say a few words about your choices on the night that would be great. If you’d prefer to just sit back and enjoy hearing some excellent music, that’s fine too.

🗓 Monday 20 July, 7-9pm
📍The Artichoke, 1 Magdalen Rd

Free to attend and all welcome.
