share experiences with, and get inspiration from, members of our Network communities across England & Wales.
celebrate the 14th anniversary of the first Open Table community in Liverpool, and seven years since we became a network.
share our achievements in our first year as a charity (registered 19th March 2021) and plans for 2022 and beyond.
The theme is #MoreThanWelcome - Here’s what we mean by that.

We look forward to welcoming you at St Ambrose's Church, Leyland, Lancashire, home of our newest Open Table community, near Junction 28 on the M6 and one short stop from Preston railway station. How to find St Ambrose's Church.
