Plate Up Pompey

Bringing Portsmouth together through food, football and culture.
Plate Up Pompey is a community project using the shared passions of food and football to bring people together and celebrate the diverse cultures, experiences and stories that make Portsmouth such a vibrant place.

What will we be doing?

Throughout the project, we’ll be bringing people together through a range of activities, including:

 

Intercultural cooking sessions – learn, cook and share dishes inspired by different cultures and traditions.

 

Shared meals and conversations – come together around the table, meet new people and share stories. Together we will celebrate the experiences, traditions and journeys that make our community unique.

 

Football and matchday experiences – connect with the game and explore what being part of a football community means to different people.

 

Creative workshops – food and football not your thing? We will be hosting a series of workshops for our wonderful creative community.
A community cookbook – capture some of the recipes, stories and memories created throughout the project.
Everyone has a seat at the table!

 

You don’t need to be a football expert or an experienced cook to get involved. Whether you’ve lived in Portsmouth all your life, have recently made the city your home, love trying new food, enjoy meeting people or simply want to be part of something positive, Plate Up Pompey is for you.

 

We particularly want to create opportunities for people and communities who may not always feel represented or included within football to have their voices heard and their cultures celebrated.
