Our community lunch and talk, Friday Lunch, is back next week from 1-2pm on Friday 25 April in Square Deal.

Come along for a free tasty lunch and to learn about the rich knowledge and experience within our local communities. Everyone is welcome to join in. You don't need to book a space, and will always get a warm welcome.

At this Friday Lunch we'll be joined by Angie Shearer who'll speak about the work behind Castle Street Coffee, just round the corner from Huntly's town square. Angie is a former PE teacher turned entrepreneur and mental health advocate. She runs Full Colour Coaching, supporting young people’s mental health and wellbeing, as well as the new social enterprise transforming the former Castle Café into a vibrant community space, coffee shop and youth shed.

Lunch will be soup with crusty bread or gluten free oatcakes, followed by cake.

Accessibility

Friday Lunch is usually attended by 15-25 people. It takes place in Square Deal, the creative and community hub on Huntly Square. There is a guide to visiting Square Deal online here. This includes information on travelling to the venue, photos and plans of the space, and sensory information.

This is a family friendly event and children are very welcome.

This event is free, but you are welcome to make a donation of £2 to cover the cost of ingredients and any access costs for the speaker.

About Friday Lunch

The sharing of food is a great leveller. On the second and fourth Friday of the month, we invite people who live or work in and around Huntly to speak about things they are passionate about - this could include their work, a project, an area of research or hobby. Topics are broad and change every time, from nature to community development, writing to food, among many others.

This event is part of the Home Programme, a series of regular community events taking place at Deveron Projects.

It includes Friday Lunch, as well as the monthly Food Chain cookery workshop and a stall at the Huntly Farmers' Market.
