What's on in Buckminster

Leicestershire, England

Village halls, community centres, and that one pub everyone knows about — Buckminster keeps its social calendar fuller than you'd expect, and here's the lot. From craft workshops and farmers' markets to quiz nights and coffee mornings, talks and screenings to book clubs and bingo. The events that make a place feel like home rather than just somewhere you happen to live. We've scoured parish council sites, library listings, venue pages, and community noticeboards to find everything happening near you. The stuff the big sites miss because they're too busy listing festivals fifty miles away.

Bemix Discovery Catering

We regularly welcome social enterprise Bemix Discovery Catering and their wonderful group, those with and without learning difficulties. Tuesdays, 10am – 4pm At Westgate Hall community venue, they enjoy time together gaining skills in cooking and catering. The group are supported to develop and prepare recipes, learn about healthy eating, gain skills in using kitchen equipment, work towards qualifications in hospitality and catering and be supported to work at catering bookings and local events. During Covid-19 restrictions, the group still came together, at a social distance in our Covid-secure venue, to plan recipes for when they can get cooking again and host their regular pop-up cafe at the Hall. Bemix supports adults with learning difficulties to speak up and make choices that are right for them. Specifically, Bemix supports people to become more independent in learning, housing, work, health, money, travel, hobbies / activities and relationships.
