Janine GriffithsFamilies in Gipton are being invited to a free community celebration packed with live music, arts and crafts, bingo, and activities for children at The Old Fire Station later this month.
The Station Party will take place at The Old Fire Station in Gipton on Friday 29 May from 5.30pm, with organisers promising “a fun night for everyone in the community”.
Alongside live music, the event will feature a café, bar, bingo and a dedicated arts and crafts area designed especially for children, offering hands-on activities aimed at sparking creativity and imagination.
Organisers have also created a separate quieter space away from the live music for families who prefer a calmer environment, giving children a relaxed area to play while adults can unwind.
The free event is funded by Sky, although places must be booked in advance.
The Station Party is set to bring together residents from across Gipton for an evening focused on family fun, creativity and community connection at one of the area’s best-known local venues.
