Our Big Gig in the Arboretum
In the summer of 2013 we organised our first free community music festival; Our Big Gig in the Arboretum. The idea came from our volunteers Eleni and Sophie, teenagers with a shared love of music and a desire to have something more for their age range going on in the area. This project took lots of hard work and planning but proved to be well worth it with over 400 people attending the event and enjoying a range of local bands, stalls and attractions.
In 2014 we went on to hold our second Our Big Gig event introducing more bands and attractions, and had approx 1000 people attend - an astonishing amount of support and another resounding success! 2015 saw the event return once more to the Arboretum, again attracting huge numbers of people. We hope to continue to make this an annual feature in the Monks Road area.
