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!
