On the first Saturday in August, friends, family and neighbours enjoyed an afternoon of fun, laughter and community spirit at the Clapham Park Summer Fair ☀️
Local people flocked to our Clapham Park community centre, The Cube, and were tempted by delicious food and drink offerings including complimentary ice creams!
The jam-packed afternoon had it all - games and entertainment, community stalls and live performances:
• A visit by Wild Science mobile animal farm – everyone loved meeting the pythons, boa constrictor, lizards and hissing cockroaches 🦎
• Superstar youngsters from Jack Seager School of Dance put on a sparkling performance 💃🏽
• A stand-out musical spectacle thanks to La Retraite students 🎶
• A Youth Poetry Workshop led by the super talented poet and Community Curator Binta Yade which was loved by budding wordsmiths 📔
• An impressive performance from the New Park Road Karate Club 🥋
• A Wellbeing Hub featuring relaxing massages and mindfulness podcasts run by The Hope Centre UK which was sold out all day 💚
• And a surprise singing performance by Ella Sunley, former MTVH Regional Community Coordinator 🎤
It was good to welcome the Mayor of Lambeth, Cllr Paul Valentine, and local councillors Verity McGivern and Martin Tiedman, who once again showed their ongoing support for the wonderful Clapham Park community.
The event was presented by the joint venture between MTVH and Vistry Group (via Countryside Partnerships). Our huge thanks to all those residents, volunteers, partners, performers and stallholders who came together to make this day one to remember. See you all again next year! 💛
