Highgate Clean-Up @ Highgate Society
Tickets
May 2 @ 9:30 am – 1:00 pm

Following on from the telephone boxes renovation last year, we have organised a clean-up morning for the streets around the immediate centre of Highgate. A bit late for a full Spring clean, our aim for this first event is to clean up some of the irritating things we all see that can be easily remedied: green moss on road signs, small bits of graffiti, corners where litter builds up. Where a job needs doing but demands greater expertise like a broken or bent sign or railings we would list these fully to let Camden Council or Haringey Council know this as a Highgate Society request. If you would like to take part we would be delighted to see you. All ages and abilities are welcome. Old clothes are needed but we will provide plastic gloves and all necessary clearing materials, including rags and buckets.

Suggestions for specific clean up points, large or small, also welcomed! It would be particularly helpful if you would indicate if you intend to help so we can have an idea of numbers and materials needed.”

Glory – Decline – Revival: Talk and Exhibition @ Highgate Society
Tickets
Jun 2 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm

You are cordially invited to tea, a talk and a private viewing of an exhibition on The story of the Great Mansions of the Highgate Ridge and the visionaries who lived in them – Witanhurst, Athlone House, Beechwood, Holly Lodge and Kenwood House.

Using seldom seen material from the HLSI archives the exhibition focuses on the lifestyles of the early owners of these houses and the pioneering reforms for which many of them fought and from which many of us still benefit.

Now that London has because a location of choice for the global rich, the exhibition asks what we can learn from the similarities and differences between the lifestyles of the new occupiers of these mansions and of their inhabitants a hundred years ago.

The talk – at 10A – will be given by Prof Richard Webber who has designed the exhibition – which is in the HLSI gallery. It is jointly funded by the HLSI, the Economic and Social Research Council, Highgate School and the Highgate Society.
RSVP to richardwebber@originsinfo(dot)eu
(Alternatively you can attend the exhibition
launch at HLSI on Tuesday, 31st May, 7.30)

Join the Great British Spring Clean campaign @ Highgate Society
Tickets
Mar 4 @ 10:15 am – 12:00 pm

Join the Great British Spring Clean campaign, Saturday 4 March 10.15 – 11.30 am

at the Highgate Society 10A South Grove, Highgate   

During the weekend of 3-5 March many people across the country will take part in the Great British Spring Clean campaign. Last year the campaign got 250,000 people outdoors, active and involved in clean up events.

The Highgate Society is organising one such event. We will supply protective gloves and rubbish bags. All we ask is that you bring yourself, some warm clothing and your enthusiasm. We will start with a short briefing at the Highgate Society 10A South Grove at 10.15 am and then leave for approximately an hour’s tidy up in and around Highgate village. Afterwards, if you have time,  we can warm up and enjoy a tea or coffee back at 10A until midday.

 

You’ll be joining an ever growing band of people who have had enough of other people’s litter, are willing to donate their time to help clear it up and want to see an end to littering. We’ll prepare a short report afterwards to highlight awareness of what we find.

 

For any questions please contact the organiser Andrew Sulston via the Highgate Society Website.
