Weekend of 'good vibrations' set for Warsop's new 'vibrant' community venue

Vibrant Warsop, a company set up to support community groups by bringing in funds and providing volunteers and resources, now has a permanent base in the former Methodist Church on Portland Street.

The company hosts regular sessions each week, including a fitness and social group for residents, a weekly music group, stay-and-play for families with children, and arts and craft sessions.

And staff and volunteers from the group are now ‘excited’ to announce their new music and folk weekend for residents to enjoy at the ‘vibrant venue’ from Friday-Sunday, March 3-5.

Maddy Pritchard, director of Vibrant Warsop, said: “We are all looking forward to our music weekend. We are looking forward to people to come together to have fun with music, singing and just having some fun.

“We have some very creative and talented people in the area and we don’t get enough opportunities to share our gifts together. If everyone enjoys the weekend then we will plan more.

“Please come along and support us – I think it’s a guaranteed smile event.”
