Events
Here are all the events we have coming up in 2026!
Angel Canal Festival
Sunday 6th September, 11am-4pm
As part of this joyous community festival along the canal, join us in the orchard area of Graham St Park which we’ll be turning into a little wonderland of sensory play, full of loose parts ideal for under 5s to explore.
Boston Manor Summer Play Days
Friday 21st, Saturday 22nd, Sunday 23rd & Monday 24th August, 12-4pm
This summer we are delighted to bring our play sessions to West London for a long weekend of free outdoor play at Boston Manor House!
Across four days the back lawn will be transformed into a world of play opportunities including den building, sensory materials, open ended crafts, woodwork with real tools, mud kitchens, swings, a bit of messy play and plenty of loose parts (everyday objects that can be used in countless imaginative ways).
Completely child-led and facilitated by our experienced playworkers, this is a chance for children of all ages to explore, experiment and play freely however they wish (while their adults are invited to sit down and relax!). No instructions, no ‘correct’ way to play, just a slice of free-range childhood.
Everyone is welcome - bring your babies, teens, friends and grandparents! Roll up any time during the session and join in.
The Manor House is free to enter so pop in during your visit, check out their lovely play room and complete the Lotta and Lola Museum Trail. Bring a picnic or grab food from the cafe and explore the park, lake and playground.
