If you have a great idea for an event to engage with the local community, we’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re looking to teach people a new skill, raise money for a worthy cause, or simply spread awareness for something worth talking about, we’d be happy to help.
Previously GATHER has been used for pop-up shops, art exhibitions, children’s entertainment, education and employment fairs, interactive workshops and more.
We’re interested in any event where the wider community can get involved during the day from 10am to 4pm.
GATHER is a 1,800sq ft space furnished with free WiFi, a kitchen sink and an external chalkboard where hosts can advertise their event to passersby. GATHER is in a central location on the ground floor of The Dolphin and is easily accessible for all members of the community.
The Dolphin team will be on hand to help if you have any questions on the day.
Most events are free to attend and don’t require booking. However, some events will have a limited capacity and will require booking in advance.
Each event at GATHER will have its own individual event listing, which is the best place to find the particulars of each event.
