Garden Party – Reconnection Tour

Date: 16th June 2022

Garden Party – Reconnection Tour

Human together:


We all know that human connection is good for our wellbeing – and the last few years have really tested us all, with so many of us struggling with forced isolation.

On the 25th June, starting at 12.30 until 4pm – Resonate Together in partnership with Engage Britain, are hosting a community reconnection event called ‘change happens’ in the grounds of the new Carsebridge Cultural Campus, Alloa.

Engage Britain have selected 14 organisations from across the UK to be part of the ReconnectionTour and we are so excited to be one of them and shine a light on our amazing Alloa community!

The Event:


As the cost of living crisis increases the challenges for us all, we are offering everything for free.

Food:


There will be free food created onsite, by Tony and Priya in their specialist catering trailer, a wonderful and friendly family team from The Tiffin.

Things to do and the Yurt!:


We also have free creative activities for all ages; there will be a ‘Connection Yurt’ where we can share the stories of what connection means to us, through our poetry, quotes and a word panel… and artists creating outdoor art works from nature.

Together:


We will have chill out spaces for a cuppa and a chat, and quiet spaces for those who find mixing again challenging but still want to be involved… and of course a few chairs arranged for those amongst us that are people watchers and love to see what is happening.

Music:


There will be free live music pop ups, including Michael on Keyboards, and John on Saxophone… and if you fancy playing a tune or two, then just bring your instrument along, as we welcome all players. Maybe sit by the campfire and sing a few songs… while we toast marshmallows.

Carsebridge Distillery:


As our Team are trying to save the site from demolition – we have been having discussions with many of the previous workers from the Distillery – so we are creating a Reunion Tent for those staff, friends and families that had connections to the site – to come together and share your stories. In the future, and in response to many requests, we will be creating a Heritage Museum on site, so there will be opportunity to share your stories, bring any reminders and get photos taken together! Thanks already goes to Charlie and Grace Drysdale for the wonderful donated framed photographs, these will also be on display on the day.

Save the buildings, create a community asset:


We will also have on sale our new community Membership and options to join our Patron Club – which all help Resonate Together in our endevour to save this amazing heritage site. And yes, we will have a card machine – for all financial help greatly received on this challenging journey.

United Nations Association Alloa:


We will also have our new friends from Scotland’s UNA on site, and looking to meet local people and celebrate the new Alloa Branch Launch – exciting times for all!

You are invited:


Everyone is invited to this garden party! (yes, we have tents in case of rain!)
So lets share this incredible Carsebridge Cultural Campus site in Alloa, together!

Come along, come alone or bring friends and family… and lets be human together, in all our crazy and diverse ways!

See you on the Saturday!
