The Union Street Party

The next Union Street Party will be on Sunday the 21st of September!

This year we’re keen to bring even more activity to the party, so if you are a musician, performer, walkabout artist, or activity maker, we’d love to hear from you!

Looking to sell food? We’d love to hear from vendors who are willing and able to offer a substantial £5 meal deal so that together we ensure that the Street Party stays accessible for all!

Every year we close Union Street for a big party!
