Thornbury will be welcoming new residents to the town next weekend.

A special event is being held to give groups and organisations the chance to meet and talk to local people, especially those living in the town's new housing developments.

Several of the groups will be putting on performances to showcase what they do and there will also be a children's carousel, music and other entertainment.

The event has been organised by Thornbury Welcomes, a community group set up to make the town a more inclusive and welcome place, along with the St Mary Centre management team.

It is being held at the St Mary Centre from 10am-2pm on Saturday, March 30.
