Walk through Eldon Square Shopping Centre during Wunderbar’s first weekend – in the midst of the shoppers and bargains galore you will find a group of people at a large table. Why not join the small gathering seated there?
As a newcomer you’ll be invited to take part and offered a small gift both as a token and as an inspiration for you to bring something to the table - to share time, conversations and gifts with your fellow strangers around the table.
“Piccadilly Square on a bustling Saturday morphed into a dinner table, a debating room, a ping-pong contest and much besides. It was wonderful to have the excuse to talk to complete strangers, to reflect on what makes a conversation, or a community, gel or fall apart. This was an unforgettable experience”
