Space to share a meal, celebrate neighbourhood care and repair, and open up work on Neighbourhood Public Square and Retrofit House together.About this Event
We warmly look forward to welcoming you all to our first Neighbourhood Supper Club of the year on Tuesday 21st April 2026. Together we'll share a tasty meal, celebrate the creative, joyful practices of care and repair that our neighbourhood(s) are known for with a range of incredible makers, builders, artists and more, and open up progress and opportunities within the journeys ahead for and .
Whether you join us from near or far, this supper will be an important moment in the journey we've all been building together for the last 6 years of CIVIC SQUARE, and 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).
This includes finding out how to have your say in the planning application for the Neighbourhood Public Square site, sharing what matters to you around how we work with contractors and suppliers, as well as getting hands on with emerging work from Design & Construction Club and Re:Builders.
Whatever your interests and involvement so far — and whether you'd like to drop in or spend the whole evening with us — please know there is room for you, and we'd love to see you there.

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.
