Park Life Heavitree

Park Life Heavitree This Park • Life • Heavitree page is for anyone who is interested in what goes on in Heavitree Pleasure Ground, Exeter, UK.

Inspired by our view that the park acts as a kind of 'community glue' we have a growing vision that see a community cafe running in the park. As active users of Heavitree Pleasure Ground we see the potential for this to support bringing together the community in and around the park.

Well, we’ll have the opportunity to create quirky, playful books using shadows created by natural objects and papers pre-coloured with natural dyes and inks!

📣 ART in the PARK 📣

We have a new exhibition up for September and October featuring work from local artist sophiecolemandesigns

Sophie’s work is a celebration of everything she loves about the sea and coastal living! And when she’s not painting the sea she’s swimming or sailing in it! 💙

Sophie likes to work with water colours, acrylics, crayons, inks, collage and screen printing and particularly loves creating textile designs. You can order any of Sophie’s printed fabric directly from her. Details avaliable at Park Cafe!

You can also see more of Sophie’s work at Devon Open Studios in Topsham between 12th-20th September.

What an amazing evening we had last night celebrating our Lunch For Life project.
Our Lunch for Life project collaborates with Refugee South Devon to provide a bi weekly pop up kitchen at Parklife Hub that enables families to cook their favourite recipes in order to enjoy the food with their loved ones.
Three amazing chefs from the project cooked wonderful dishes from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka for our guests to enjoy. It was a real treat! 🤩
We also had Flamenco dancers to entertain us all with their fabulous music and moves. 💃🏻

A truly magical evening that brought community together and raised funds to maintain our L4L project.

Further ways to support L4L:
Bring in any tins of tomatoes, chick peas, lentils, tomatoe puree,cooking oil, spices and leave in the blue bucket in PL cafe.
One off monetary donation or monthly via our website.
Volunteer at the sessions.
