About this Event
Join us for our next Monthly Supper Club on Tuesday 30th April, 5pm - 8pm, a space to gather regularly, share food, ideas, and organise together, co-hosted and co-curated by CIVIC SQUARE and neighbours from B16 and beyond.
Monthly Supper Clubs take place at Midland Sailing Club and are a space for us to connect with and support each other locally, while also looking beyond our city with visits from inspiring speakers, practitioners and activists from around the country. This space exists to highlight and celebrate organising that allows people to design, own and govern their response to the effects of climate change, including the retrofit of our homes, streets and neighbourhoods.
Whether you've come along regularly or it's your first time, you are warmly welcome to drop in and enjoy a plate of hot, tasty food with us. Building on the time spent regularly together here last year, Monthly Supper Clubs will continue on the last Tuesday of every month throughout the year, so be sure to call by when you can.
Our Monthly Supper Clubs are family-friendly and you’re more than welcome to bring children along to draw, play and dream with us too. You can also drop in at any time, leave when you need to, or come for the whole time!

Happening this Month
We are delighted to be joined by some of the team from Together for Mission Zero on the Isle of Wight to explore how we can exchange wisdom from the work happening in our respective neighbourhoods. Together for Mission Zero are one of many hubs working together to empower positive social and ecological action in their local communities looking at land use, housing, energy, travel and circular economies.
CIVIC SQUARE are working with local design + fabrication co-op MJM Bespoke to retrofit our Polytunnel, transforming it into an outdoor classroom. Together, along with some of the brilliant practitioners we’ve worked with, we will design a series of workshops that bring our neighbours into the build process to demonstrate how things work and to get hands on where possible. Director of MJM Bespoke, Matt, will be joining us for the evening to share some of the early design ideas and to chat about running a co-operative model business.
What's On The Menu
Join us for a selection of tasty vegetarian dishes with vegan and gluten free options. Everyone is welcome to bring a dish, drinks or fruit to add to our table too. Homemade and homegrown is encouraged!
If there is food to spare, feel free to bring your own tupperware and take leftovers for yourself, friends and family to enjoy after our meal together. Waste not, want not.
