The Creative Arts & Makers Club at Sumac happens on 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month.
Activities include:
‘No Poetry on a Dead Planet‘ is an open mic night in collaboration with XR Nottingham as part of Nottingham Poetry Festival.
Come up with plans to tackle the city’s environmental challenges and to minimise their environmental impact.
Present our perspective on plans for carbon neutral Nottingham 2028 (CN28)
We’ll decide together how to make the most of our proposals at this crucial time, in the run up to a regional mayoral election and the run up to a general election.
We’ll also give the Climate Assembly team a chance to hone their skills before the city-wide, public Climate Assembly planned for later in 2024.
We really hope that you will be happy to join us on Saturday April 20th at the Sumac Centre, 245 Gladstone Street, Forest Fields, Nottingham NG7 6HX, 11-4 pm (including lunch).
We would like your group or organisation to send 1-2 delegates to the Assembly. Please could you let us know by March 1st 2024 whether you will be accepting this invitation and which people will be coming on behalf of your group or organisation (as well as their email addresses).
If you have any questions at this stage, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Klezmer Keilidh rehearse at Sumac Centre, in the large indoor space.
A klezmer keilidh is essentially a barn dance Yiddish style! Much like in other ceilidhs, the dances are explained by a caller and you don’t need any experience, neither do you need to bring a partner to join in.
Planning meetings continue for Nottingham Green Festival, a sustainable-themed festival, organised by a volunteer cooperative planning group.
The Green Festival wil be held at Nottingham Arboretum on Sunday 8th September 2024 and your support is most welcome.
Join us at the Sumac Centre, or get in touch for details to join the online via zoom.
Note that times may change between Winter & Summer meetings – see future meeting dates … (Also event listing on Veggies Diary)

*Celebrate our diversity*
This event celebrates 40 years of cooperation, mutual aid and solidarity by Sumac Centre, since being established as the Rainbow Centre in 1984. Rainbow rented a rundown terrace of shops on Mansfield Road from 1985-2001, creating the community that bought the Sumac Centre in 2001. See more history here.
