Story Of: Sunday Lime
Sunday Lime is an intergenerational, protected space for Global Majority* folks and their families in York and the surrounding areas to catch up like cousins, to hang out with no agenda.

Wheelchair accessible, two disabled bathrooms and quiet room available.
Message or email if you want funding for transport to get to the event.

Why Lime? Our Trinidadian friend @pixel.vistas introduced the slang word which is linked to the art of doing nothing, hanging out, eating, drinking and chilling together.
*Global Majority is an expansive term that refers to people who make up the Majority of the worlds population: Black, Indigenous, Brown, Gypsy, Roma, Traveller, Arab, Latin American, Asian and mixed ethnicity people.

Sowing seeds for creating dyes - York International Women's Week
As part of York International Women's Week, Homestead Park invites self-identified women and non-binary people to come learn about and sow seeds for creating natural dyes.
Over tea made from wild plants we will harvest on a walk through the park to see where the dye plants seedlings will eventually be planted, we can discuss ideas for how we may use the dyes-to-be…
There will be opportunities to come back to the park to plant the dye plant seedlings in late spring, and later to harvest the plant materials, to experiment with making and using the dyes, as well as to collect seed for future dye plant sowings.
The session is suitable for all fitness levels, though some uneven paths and woodlands are involved. Those unable to participate in the walk can join us for seed sowing in the glass houses and refreshments in the Pavilion.
Meet by the Pavilion building in the park - https://w3w.co/wiring.stack.soup
If you book a ticket and then cannot make it, do let us know in advance if possible so that we can make the place open to others.
Please book to take part in this event, as places are limited.
Eventbrite booking link: Sowing seeds for creating dyes
This event is part of York International Women's Week; do have a look at the extensive programme on www.yorkwomen.org.uk
