The Outback Community Kitchen & Garden

Here's a little dose of nature 🪻🌼🌺

Seeing and being in nature is crucial for human health. Studies show that even 15 to 20 minutes a day can regulate stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and improve mood. Whether through a window or outside, nature promotes psychological restoration, cognitive focus, and overall well-being.

Our garden is bursting with life 🌞🌼🌺🌳🪺

Still a few spaces remaining! 🌸

This World Bee Day 🐝, we’re celebrating Park Ward Pollinators at The Outback Garden 🐝🌼

Park Ward Pollinators is our local community project, where our dedicated pollinators come together to care for our community beehives, share skills, and help look after the habitat for our bees and other wildlife.

It’s a brilliant example of community in action, helping protect pollinators while bringing people together around shared skills, learning and care for nature.

And as a sweet bonus, we also produce and sell our own local honey 🍯

A big thank you to everyone involved in helping our bees — and our garden — thrive.

We’re delighted to announce that planning is now underway for the Calderdale Festival of Food, and we’d love local businesses to be part of it 🍎

Taking place from 7–20 September, the Festival is a two-week celebration of Calderdale’s fantastic food and drink scene, encouraging people from across the borough and beyond to discover and support local producers, cafés, restaurants, bars and venues.

We’re inviting Calderdale-based food producers and food & drink venues to get involved by:

Hosting a food-related event or activity during the Festival

Creating a special Festival menu using locally sourced ingredients

Businesses taking part will be promoted as part of the wider Festival marketing campaign and will also receive branded digital assets to support their own promotion.

Find out more here by heading to Calderdale Festival of Food | Visit Calderdale

To take part, please complete the registration form by Friday 12 June.
