The historic building joined venues across the country to host a Great Get Together event with food, live music, family fun and live music. The initiative, inspired by the late Jo Cox, aims to bring people together to celebrate what they have in common. Held in partnership with Calder Valley of Sanctuary, it also marked Refugee Week.
