For the past four years, amongst other events, we have successfully staged and organised the Catton Community Concert, in conjunction with Catton Grove First & Middle Schools. This years event will be held on 1st July 2006.

We also stage an annual community christmas event, imaginatively titled Celebrate Christmas, involving children, young people and families from the area. The event which will be at St Andrews Hall this year will be on 10th December 2006
