What’s Your Divi – A Celebration of Co-op Culture in Doncaster

2025 is International Year of Co-operatives, Heritage Doncaster and the CO-OP are teaming up to bring local stories to life. 

Join us for an afternoon of memories, music, and community spirit as we explore how co-operatives have shaped Doncaster’s past and present. 

What’s your Divi? From shopping trips to shifts at the till, share your Co-Op memories, bring along photos or objects. We’ll also be recording oral histories collecting local stories connected to co-ops—so come along and add your voice to Doncaster’s history! 

Explore pop-up displays of vintage posters, pamphlets, and handling objects. 

Enjoy performances by the Doncaster Wheatsheaf Singers—formed in 1950 with funding from the Co-Op – who are are still going strong 75 years later!

Co-operatives are more than just shopping, come and meet some local organisations that are established co-ops i.e.,  Bentley Urban Farm, Commune in the North, Doncaster Skate Co-Op who will be sharing their experiences and insights into co-operatives in Doncaster today.
