IMBOLC
SUNDAY 1ST FEBRUARY 1-3PM
AT THE GRAPES COMMUNITY FOOD GARDEN
Come by and help celebrate Imbolc, the Irish/Celtic/Gaelic marking of the coming of spring and the first festival of the 8-fold year of 2026. Traditional foods associated with Imbolc are dairy* inc. milk, butter & cheese and grains/bread and will feature at this year’s Imbolc celebration.
For our gentle annual celebration, we also invite you to join local gardeners, artists & cooks to;
- reflect together around the fire about winter challenges and hope for the coming spring
- help make Brigid crosses with locally grown reeds
- plant up onions, garlic and broad beans; some of the earliest veg we can sow in the year
- bless the gardens of the street and look ahead to the growing year
- help make fresh butter and taste flatbreads made over the fire
- draw & write spring affirmations and share rituals at the altar
- taste fire cider and Imbolc herb tea
- listen to early spring music
