Learn how to grow, cook, and eat your own food at free community events in Wirral

Make a pizza, help plant a summer crop of plants, or join in with cultural inspired crafts, all by taking part in Earth Moves ‘Grow, Cook, Eat!’ series of free events.

Taking place until July 2023, you can join in with free planting days and community meals in Wallasey, where you can learn something new, have fun, meet new people and enjoy a free meal.

The series of free events have been co-designed by local people. Each community meal will be plant-based using locally sourced food, participants will be able to learn how to cook these delicious and low-cost recipes, as well as enjoying a cultural activity at each event inspired by the event’s theme.

Paula Staunton, Earth Moves founder said, “We want to help teach local people about food growing, and show how these locally grown foods can be made into so many tasty, low cost dishes. You can also learn alot about cultures through food, so we’ll be exploring this through a series of fun cultural activities at each of our community meals.”

Funding for this project is thanks to The National Lottery and its players. Thanks also to Wirral Council.
