The Great Get Together 2025 will be back on Saturday 21 June. Upper Hamilton Road and the sections of Buxton Road and Exeter Street closest to the Chimney House Pub will be closed from 10am-10pm. Please move your cars from the closed area the night before if possible.
The street party takes place from midday and 9.30pm. The streets will be decked with bunting, the stage will be set, there will be live music and DJs will spin their tunes.
There will be lots of kids’ activities, paper plane competition, face painting and more! We hope to have a fire engine but that depends on availability.
