https://www.jacksonslane.org.uk/events/silly-little-things/
After a seven-year hiatus from the Fringe, Trygve Wakenshaw returns with his new hilarious mime-clown-comedy show. Light and silly, absurd and Dada, and a sort of autobiographical, introspective look at all the silly little things that can make or break a friendship. 

Trygve Wakenshaw is an award-winning and internationally-recognised mime clown. In 2015 he was nominated for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and in 2017 he sold out at the Fringe with Trygve Versus A Baby.

Open-Air Thursday: John Etheridge and Vimala Rowe @ Lauderdale House
Aug 15 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

John Etheridge’s Blue Spirits are coming back to light up our Tea Lawn this summer, once again accompanied by the dulcet tones of jazz legend Vimala Rowe.

Led by internationally renowned Guitar legend John Etheridge, Blue Spirits is completed by Pete Whittaker (Organ) and George Double (Drums).

Drawing on a vast reservoir of musical experience spanning over 50 years, Etheridge distils the bluesier side of his musical world in a repertoire that has intensity and emotion as its main quality, with subtlety, fluidity and interaction as its centre. Pete Whittaker is a superb accompanist, and soloist and drummer George Double is celebrated for his drive and invention.

The Trio will be joined by special guest vocalist Vimala Rowe, known for her soulful and passionate delivery.

Guerrilla Gardening
Aug 17 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Our Guerrilla Gardening group has been busy with planning for 2024 since our evening workshop in November. Work has included a walk-about through the N6 area to survey 16 potential sites for our activities and developing a map with notes, so that we can assign actions (even if just monitoring) to each site.

We are now looking for people that can join us to grow this initiative. If you can help out at a gardening event (site clearing, pruning, planting), or might be interested in becoming a ‘champion’ for a particular site near you that needs care, or you simply want to know more, please do get in touch via the contact form on the website or by direct email to: infrastructure@highgatesociety.com. A member of the team will be in touch. You can also sign up to our occasional Guerrilla Gardening newsletter.

Meanwhile, the dates for gardening events have been fixed – see below – so do ‘save the date’ in your diary, if you are interested. We will provide further information as to the event activity and location, each month. Please note, some are evening events and they are not only Saturdays!

Saturday 23 March 10–12 noon
Saturday 20 April 10–12 noon
Saturday 18 May 2.30–4.30pm
