Invitation to gather and celebrate the Jo Cox Great Get Together with a Family Fun Day
Polmont Community Hub will open its doors on Sunday 22 June for a Family Fun Day as part of the UK-wide Great Get Together weekend in honour of the late Jo Cox MP.
The event will take place from 2:30pm to 5:30pm at Greenpark Drive, Polmont (FK2 0PZ), and is open to people of all ages to come together for an afternoon of connection and fun activities.
The Great Get Together is an annual celebration inspired by Jo Cox’s message that “we have more in common than that which divides us.”
Running from 20 - 22 June 2025, this will be one of many events taking place across the country in her memory.
The Polmont event promises a wide range of free and low-cost activities for families, including a teddy bears’ picnic (children should bring their own teddies), beat the goalie, children’s cricket, a Connect 4 tournament, films, and CPR demonstrations.
There will also be a raffle, tombola, food and drinks (or the option to bring your own picnic), and stalls hosted by local groups and organisations.
Community groups will be on hand to showcase their services and activities, encouraging people to get involved and learn more about what’s available in their area.
Councillor Anne Hannah, organiser of the event said:
We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to the Polmont Community Hub for what promises to be a beautiful afternoon.
“The Great Get Together is a wonderful reminder of the strength and kindness within our communities, and events like this give us a chance to connect with others, support one another, and simply enjoy being together. Everyone is welcome and we hope to see you there.
