Swinnow Community Centre is broadening its offer with a series of high-quality evening events, designed to bring new cultural and social opportunities to Swinnow, Pudsey and the surrounding areas.
The initiative aims to reach those who are unable to attend the centre’s popular daytime activities, offering engaging experiences outside of traditional hours.
The first event in the series will be a Spanish Night on 27 September, celebrating the food, music, and dance of Spain.
Guests will enjoy a rustic two-course menu featuring albondigas (Spanish meatballs in a rich tomato reduction), pollo con chorizo (chicken baked with authentic chorizo), patatas bravas, and escalivada (roasted red pepper and aubergine in a slow-cooked tomato sauce). The evening will also feature a live DJ set with Latin rhythms and a salsa taster session.
Future events will continue to explore different cultures, with themes such as Greek nights and pop-up restaurants, developed in collaboration with local professional chefs and DJs. Each evening will be volunteer-led but delivered to a high standard, ensuring a memorable experience that combines community spirit with cultural excellence.
Director Will Munton said: “We want to create vibrant and atmospheric, events that are local, affordable and fun, We are excited to work with local catering and entertainment professionals to create something very special for the area.
“By diversifying its programme in this way, Swinnow Community Centre is reaffirming its role as a vibrant hub for the community, bringing people together through shared experiences, and ensuring that more residents have access to what their local centre has to offer.”
