Held in Eldon Square's Upper Grey’s Quarter, the Community Quarter not only hosts Easter fun from charities like The Children’s Foundation but also serves as a multipurpose area, open for use by schools, colleges, and universities at no cost. Additionally, cultural, employability, heritage, environmental, and volunteering organisations are welcome to utilise the space for their activities.
