Abi and her Grandad tell each other Anansi folktales. They play games as they work together in the garden among the beautiful flowers and tasty vegetables. As they plant memories, they share secrets and develop a bond that nothing can break.
Grandad is as smart and mischievous as the wily Anansi legend, a part human, part spider and the subject of many West African and Caribbean folk stories. Can he find a way to tell his granddaughter about his plans to return to Jamaica, his beloved homeland?
Join our intrepid characters as they step into the unexpected in this humorous and heartfelt inter-generational adventure. With captivating songs and joyous dancing, Grandad Anansi is an uplifting tale of love, courage and letting go that celebrates storytelling and shines a light on Jamaican culture and the Windrush generation.
Event dates: Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th September
Wellingborough Town Council is proud to announce Celebrate Wellingborough, a brand- new two-day event taking place on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th September, aimed at showcasing the incredible people, groups, and organisations that make our town such a vibrant and diverse place to live, work and visit.
Celebrate Wellingborough invites local sports clubs, community centres, places of worship, independent businesses, and voluntary groups to “open their doors” and show residents and visitors alike what makes their corner of the town special.
From open days and taster sessions to performances, demonstrations, and behind-the- scenes tours, the weekend will offer a unique chance to explore the many opportunities and activities across Wellingborough.
A dedicated event map will be produced to guide visitors to participating venues and highlight everything taking place over the weekend.
“This is a real opportunity for Wellingborough to come together and celebrate the people, cultures, and talents that make our town so special,” said a spokesperson from Wellingborough Town Council. “We’re encouraging as many local groups and organisations as possible to get involved and help us shine a spotlight on everything Wellingborough has to offer.”
Examine some of Northamptonshire’s most remarkable archaeological artefacts and get hands-on with history through family-friendly activities, including the exciting opportunity to wash real artefacts
As part of Heritage Open Days, Northamptonshire’s Archaeological Resource Centre (ARC) is hosting an ARC open day on Saturday 20th September from 10am – 4pm.
For those with a particular interest in human history, the team are offering exclusive osteology sessions as part of your ticket.
Led by expert volunteers, these sessions provide a unique opportunity to examine human skeletal remains.
This optional activity will be held in a dedicated space away from the main event.
Wellingborough Repair Cafe is moving! This is because we need more space for more fixers, so we can repair more of your items!
‘Many thanks to all at Glamis Hall for hosting us up to now and helping to make the Repair Café a success. We felt that we now need a bit more space, so we will be at the Victoria Centre starting from Saturday the 13th September.’ Judy Sumner – Project Leader
You can basically bring anything you can carry that will not make a mess in the venue. Whatever it is, bring it along.
Now there is no need to book, just turn up with your broken item. You can even bring more than one thing, though to be fair, we have limited each timeslot to one item, so you may have to join the queue a few times!
Plus we are part of ‘Celebrate Wellingborough‘, a new weekend long event from Wellingborough Town Council to promote local activities!
Bring you broken items to the Victoria Centre from 9am-12 midday next Saturday, 13th September. We look forward to seeing you and what you bring in… More details at:
