Pride and Prejudice in Words and Music @ LAUDERDALE HOUSE,
Jun 12 @ 8:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Join us for a special evening as Pride and Prejudice is brought to life through words and music by Leora Cohen on violin, Paul Wingfield on piano and narrator Penelope Rawlins.


The American-born Jewish conductor and composer Carl Davis, wrote the music for dozens of films and more than one hundred TV programmes. His score for Pride and Prejudice is particularly memorable – Davis captured the novel’s most salient themes and values through evocative quotations from and subtle allusions to resonant works by major composers contemporary with Jane Austen’s work. Davis was subsequently commissioned to produce an abbreviated version of his score, for violin and piano, with a spoken narration, written by Gill Hornby. The resulting compact and highly effective musical entertainment vividly recreates the popular nineteenth century musical genre of melodrama. This concert is a tribute to Carl Davis, who died on August 3 2023.

Guerrilla Gardening
Jun 20 @ 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!

East London Shakespeare Festival: Much Ado About Nothing @ Lauderdale House
Jul 10 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

East London Shakespeare Festival is heading to Lauderdale House with sparkling rom-com Much Ado About Nothing.

Sun-soaked mischief & romance under the Mediterranean stars. Set against the luxurious backdrop of a modern-day Messina, this opulent tale is brimming with wit, trickery & mischief with heart coming out on top. With ELSF’s trademark contemporary twists and turns, high-energy party numbers and audience participation. A family friendly night!

The East London Shakespeare Festival (ELSF) merges the contemporary culture of London with the inspirational storytelling of Shakespeare’s plays in outdoor parks and community spaces across London. They launched in 2021 with a magical, riotous, sold-out production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (receiving an Off West End Award Nomination for Best Company), an 80’s inspired Twelfth Night in 2022 and another Off West End Award Nomination for Best Company Ensemble for Romeo & Juliet in 2023. A festival vibe will be encouraged with gates opening an hour before the show, so bring a picnic and why not sign up for a mask-making workshop run one of our in-house-party-goers (actors) – make your own mask and be part of the masked party!

Parental Guidance – the play features kissing. The show is directed by Rosie Ward. The producers – and co-directors of the East London Shakespeare Festival – are: Ursula Early & Rosie Ward.
