Art Exhibition: “Brush, Lens, Life” by Mika Hadar @ Lauderdale House
May 26 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Art Exhibition: “Brush, Lens, Life” by Mika Hadar

1st May – 27th May 2024

This exhibition focuses on periods of serene contemplation in nature, fostering opportunities for the senses and the heart to expand and encounter moments of awe.

Mika is a London-based photographer, painter, and poet, integrating the objective lens of photography with the expressive strokes of a painter’s brush.

Their work is defined by its poetic, serene, and contemplative essence.

They view their art as ‘Visual Poetry’, where each medium- photography, painting, and poetry—expresses their inner landscape.

Mika explores the intimate connection between the observer and the observed through their lens. In painting, they respond to the view with their inner feelings and sensations, often blending brush and lens by painting over printed photographs, thereby recreating them with a subjective perspective.

Mika’s approach to photography and painting transcends mere documentation; it seeks to encapsulate the inherent mystery and longing in every moment. Their ultimate goal is to create an immersive experience that surpasses the visible realm, inviting others to share moments of wonder and introspection.

Come see Mika Hadar’s work at Lauderdale House during the month of May (1st – 27th). The exhibition is free and doesn’t require a ticket, but the gallery opening times change daily – please check on www.lauderdalehouse.org.uk or call 020 8348 8716 when planning your visit.

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!

Saturday 23 March 10–12 noon
