Host Your Own COMMUNITEA Party!

Come together with your local community over the Somerset Day weekend of 10th and 11th May, or any time in May, to connect, celebrate our county, and share a cuppa.

As part of our Centenary celebrations, we’re inviting everyone to mark 100 years of working alongside Somerset’s communities by hosting a COMMUNITEA Party, a simple, meaningful way to spark conversations and bring people together.

All you need is:
• A kettle
• A few mugs
• A welcoming space
• A sprinkling of community spirit

We’ve created a free activity pack filled with promotional materials, games, and crafts to help you host your own COMMUNITEA Party.

Download your pack here: https://thrivesomerset.org.uk/centenary/

Whether it’s a cosy gathering with neighbours, a meet up at work, or an event to support your local area, your COMMUNITEA Party helps celebrate everything that makes Somerset special.
So, brew a pot, invite your community, and join us in celebrating Somerset Day and 100 years of local impact, one cuppa at a time.

Don’t forget to let us know about your event so we can help spread the word.
