Windrush Day, Tenby
Tenby Town Council is holding an event to celebrate the wide variety of people who have come to live in Tenby from near and far. Some of us have connections through their families with a different part of the country or indeed the world. Some of us have moved here ourselves. We often have recipes that have been passed to us by members of our family or friends, that have become a way of remembering these different places. They might not be something we do all the time, but a memory from childhood.
The town council would like to celebrate these different places that people have connections with, and it seemed like a good time to do it as the anniversary of Windrush is coming up in June. So, on June 15th, they are having a celebration not just of Windrush, but of all the journeys that people have made to come here, and the amazing place that Tenby is to live in.
They would appreciate it if people could think of a recipe, however simple, that reminds them of a connection they have had at some point in your life with another place, whether that is not far up the road or the other side of the world.
If people could bring this dish with them to the celebration to share, that would be great. It can be home made food or bought, whatever is appropriate and easier. But people are encouraged to come along anyway, hopefully there will be plenty of food for us all to try.
There will also be the One Voice Choir, some storytelling, and a chance to talk to a Windrush Elder who is coming to Tenby especially for this event. It will be from 3pm to 6pm at Augustus Place Community Hall on Saturday June 15th.
Everyone is invited to come along and help us celebrate our lovely town and all the great people in it.
