About this event
As the People’s Pavilion 2025 and the Morris Mania Exhibition draw to a close, we invite you to a special community celebration filled with creativity, culture, and reflection.
Spend the afternoon enjoying:
- Live music from Pantonic Steel Orchestra and Mbilla Arts
- Hands-on arts & crafts for all ages, led by local makers and crafters
- Talks & reflections on the Pavilion’s journey and its impact
- Exhibition displays celebrating the importance of this youth-led co-design programme
This finale is your chance to come together with friends, family, and neighbours — to celebrate what’s been created and to look ahead at what’s still to come.
Free, family-friendly, and open to all — join us as we close the Pavilion in style!
