Romsey Resident Event is making its return on Sunday April 30, to showcase all the town has to offer with entertainment, food and a range of stalls.
The event will be held at the Romsey Neighbourhood House from 11am to 3pm, with event organisers expecting over 20 stalls.
Romsey Neighbourhood House Manager Michelle Balthazar said this is the first year back after COVID-19 lockdowns.
“[We] ran about three resident events over the last few years, but had to stop because of covid [lockdowns], and this is the first one back since then,” Ms Balthazar said.
“We’ve got a fabulous range of different community groups, clubs and organisations that will be showing what’s available [in Romsey]… and ways to get involved.”
Ms Balthazar said it is important for residents to feel involved in the community, especially if they have recently moved to the area.
“Particularly with Romsey’s big growth in population, we want to make sure residents feel connected,” she said.
“Sometimes it can be hard to connect and that’s one of the things we do at the neighbourhood house.”
“[The event is] a great opportunity for those groups to get new members and volunteers.”
With entertainment for kids and food available, Ms Balthazar said they are hoping to meet the previous attendance numbers of more than 200 people.
“We’ve consistently had over 200 [people] attend each year and we’re hoping the number will be up again.”
If you are interested in registering a stall for the event Ms Balthazar said to contact the neighbourhood house.
