Join us for a community consultation and design day as part of the Dearne Community Arts’ Festival community art project to make selfie boards to celebrate our local community. Bring your photos of Goldthorpe throughout the ages and help us design a selfie board for the new Town Square, for Dearne Churches Together and for the arts’ festival itself. Storyteller Rebecca Dye will be present to record our reminiscences and to find out what local groups mean to us and we will also be packing story bags to raise funds for the arts’ festival at the Phoenix Park Fun Day later in May.

Come along to this family fun day at Phoenix Park, where a range of organisations will be doing different activities for families including sports, cycling, crafts, trails and looking at different stories and storytelling. A great free fun day for all the family, with portable toilets and refreshments available. Or you can bring your own picnic. Children are encouraged to come dressed as book characters and to bring a Teddy Bear!
