We're excited to welcome you all back for our final Neighbourhood Supper Club of 2026 on Tuesday 8th December, as we open the doors for a special End of Year Celebration.

Whether you join us from near or far, the End of Year Celebration will be a key space to reconnect as we begin a new chapter of organising, learning, graft, craft, safety, care, deep reimagination and endless possibility together ahead, as we make preparations to begin construction on site(s) in 2027.

The Journey So Far
Supper Clubs first began on a snowy day in March 2023 as a place for Link Road neighbours to convene and organise together around reimagining the retrofit of our homes, streets and neighbourhoods alongside the CIVIC SQUARE team at Midland Sailing Club.
Over the next year, the space flourished into a monthly gathering for neighbours from B16 and beyond to come together to share food, ideas, and to organise, and this space to connect and support each other has been growing ever since.
We know the value of spaces to eat together, celebrate, heal, reason, and mobilise particularly outside of typical working hours for many people, with the spirit of celebratory dinners, weekly potluck lunches, Food For Throught, and Open Project Night from Impact Hub Birmingham over 10+ years alive and well in regular Supper Clubs, in ways we know will continue to matter to face the challenges and opportunities in our neighbourhood(s) together.
This includes Supper Clubs continuing to act as a consistent space to come together safely and openly throughout 2026 as we enter into the construction phases of Neighbourhood Public Square and Retrofit House, during which our ability to come together on these sites is likely to be changeable as work begins, helping to provide a grounding, regular space to share progress, opportunities and come together around what matters most in our neighbourhood(s) as we take the next steps of co-building long term infrastructure together.
This End of Year Celebration is the final Neighbourhood Supper Club of 2026, and a special festive edition as we extend gratitude for the year of care and repair across our neighbourhood, and look ahead to 2027 together.
