Friends of the Parkland Walk – Big Clean @ Stapleton hall Road Bridge, The Parkland Walk
Mar 7 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Please come and help us for this annual deep litter clean.

We had a great turnout last year, but the litter bugs have been back and we need lots of volunteers to help remove fly tipping, waste and litter. This year the event will only be for the one day. We’ll be going into the depths of the undergrowth to see what surprises lie in store. From past experience we expect to find everything including the kitchen sink (in case you’re anticipating a refurb). Key to making this a fun and productive event is getting a big turn out as we did last year. Everyone involved was unanimous in commenting how rewarding the day had been and we were delighted with the result. Bring family and friends along and make it a day to remember.

We will supply gloves, litter pickers and bags. Strong footwear is essential. This event is organised with assistance from Haringey Council Parks Department

Waterlow Park Through the Eyes of History Tour @ Lauderdale House
Feb 24 @ 11:30 am – 12:15 pm
Waterlow Park Through the Eyes of History Tour @ Lauderdale House | England | United Kingdom

See Waterlow Park like you’ve never seen it before through the expert eyes of local historian Pam Cooper, who wrote the definitive history book  on the Park.

In 1889 Waterlow Park was given as a ‘garden for the gardenless’ but it was a long journey from the Tudor nobles who claimed the area for country residences until the Victorian Sir Sydney Waterlow brought it together in a grand act of philanthropy.

Meet in the central internal Courtyard at Lauderdale House.
