The bliss of decluttering one’s home is not just in the discovery of long-forgotten treasures, but also in the opportunity to pass them on for others to cherish.

The car boot sale, a staple of British culture, epitomizes this spirit of renewal and exchange. It’s a place where memories are shared, bargains are found, and the simple pleasure of a community gathering under the open sky—or even a cloudy one—is celebrated.

Despite the unpredictable UK weather, the promise of good company, a delicious meal at the Crosspool Tavern, and the thrill of the find, draws a dedicated crowd. It’s a reminder that what may no longer serve one person can bring pleasure to another, and in doing so, contribute to a cycle of sustainability that benefits all.

Friendship Lunch

Kathy Marwick is now preparing for the next Friendship Lunch at the Crosspool Tavern on
Monday 13th November at 12 noon.

These events are the result of Kathy’s dedication and enthusiasm for reaching out to those who feel isolated or alone. She believes that everyone deserves to have meaningful social interactions and opportunities to participate in activities that enrich their lives. Kathy has worked hard to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all the attendees, and she hopes that you will come and enjoy these events as much as she does.

These events are fun and welcoming, and they provide a great opportunity for those living on their own to socialise and enjoy themselves.

Kathy understands how hard and stressful it can be for families and carers who look after their loved ones. This is an opportunity for them to also have a break from their daily routine and find some solace.

Some of the guests may not recall the event later, but they will surely have had a good time while they are there, and that matters a lot.
