The event will be a casual picnic with food (Turkish food if you wish), playing some fun games and conversations with a diverse range of individuals and communities who have contributed in positive ways to bring about social cohesion within Sheffield and surrounding areas.

Please note:

• We will serve hygienically prepared homemade Turkish food however it is completely up to you to have some of them or bring your own.
• We will not serve hot or cold drinks. We kindly ask you to bring your own hot or cold drinks as you wish.
• We kindly ask everyone to bring their own picnic rugs or chairs.
• For a more eco friendly picnic experience, we kindly ask everyone to bring their own plates, cups and cutlery. It is up to you to bring disposable or reusable ones. But we have decided not to provide these.
• If prior to the event day, the weather forecast suggests that it will not be a dry day, we will sadly have to cancel or postpone the event. In that case, we will inform you of the cancellation or postponement via e-mail.
