The Great Get Together 2026

Its that time of year again. Get your diaries out and block out Saturday 20 June for the Prestonville Great Get Together 2026. We’ve done this, together with St. Luke’s church and the Prestonville Community Association, every year since the murder of Jo Cox MP. In her memory, and for ourselves, we celebrate togetherness, community and kindness.

The road sections around the Chimney House will be closed from 9.30am-10pm – please move your car! We have a fabulous line up of DJs and bands, games for the kids and much more. There will be tasty food, gorgeous home-made cakes and delicious drinks to buy, stalls to visit and lots of time to chatter and laugh and enjoy our community.

More details of events will be announced here and elsewhere nearer the time.

There will be a warm welcome for all neighbours, friends and family. If you have any queries or suggestions for the day you can email Sally at [email protected]

If you’re not a performer how can you help? We need cake makers, face painters, plant donators, bunting erectors, clearer-uppers and more. Contact Sally if you’d like to get involved.
