Leaf St Harvest Feast'ival

Our very own Leaf St is 10 years old this year! If you remember digging the ground, planting those trees, bending the willow or even just walking down the garden enjoying the flowers, butterflies or the occasional 'brew crew' that the street attracts ..

then ...........

Come celebrate the 10 years of this extraordinary city centre community garden, pick apples, join in the juicing, eat great food, whilst enjoying the performances from the talented residents of "The Redbricks' Bentley House estate where the garden is located.

The event will host workshops and stalls and lots of funky stuff through out the day.

Leaf St Harvest Feast'ival on 27th Sept 11 - 7pm with extra Dance Off  live stream event between 7pm and 9 pm - Link stream between Karachi (Pakistan), Barranquilla (Colombia),Sao Paulo (Brasil) and........
Manchester (Hulme)! with Djs,  live jaming visuals and variety of dance styles.

This event has been organised by The Manchester Permaculture Network as Leaf St was created from a design course with Hulme residents but is part of a much bigger community celebration of local food and a pride in Hulme and its people.

The event also encourages free cycling swap shop and with host local promotional initiatives so come and see what on your very door step.

The event has had food donated from a variety of community food and permaculture projects around the city of Manchester. Cooked up into lovely edibles by people on the estate too so if you fancy an apple juice 'or two'

Short film about Leaf St made earlier in year

Leaf St

As usual I hear about everything far too late.

Please send me event udates so I can place them on my forum Best of Hulme http://bestofhulme.blogspot.com/

I myself am a resident of Hulme. The idea of the forum came about when I heard of a new University Campus being built in Hulme. I wondered how students new to the area were going to find out about places to visit and events when I myself only ever seemed to hear about things after they had happened.
