SUMMARY:Halloween Spooky Walks at Lauderdale House
DESCRIPTION:Our super spooky Halloween walks are back! Join a host of creepy characters on an adventure around Lauderdale House and Waterlow Park on the most sinister night of the year! \nFAQs\n\nIs it scary? \nThis obviously depends on your child to a large extent. You will be going around the park in the dark\, which can be creepy. However\, you will be in a group with 50 other people as well as stewards. Our actors appear as classic Halloween characters  Some of them are good humoured and fun; some of them are a bit spookier… and there’s always at least one ‘baddie’. We try to find a balance between making it a bit scary at times – it’s Halloween after all – and also funny and fun. \nWhat age is it for? \nAgain\, every child is different. On average 5 to 9-year-olds enjoy it the most\, but we regularly have little ones who have a ball and less cynical over 9’s really enjoy the fun of it too. All children must be accompanied by an adult.  \nWhat happens if it rains? \nThese shows are outside but demons and witches aren’t worried by a drop of rain so we’ll go ahead regardless unless we judge it to be dangerous. Wear your wellies\, put on your waterproofs and make the most of it! \nHow long does the walk last? \nAround 45 minutes. \nCan I bring babies? \nWe understand that it’s not always practical to leave a baby at home if you are bringing other children so are happy for you to bring young ones but please note they will need to be carried as it is not feasible to accommodate pushchairs. You do not need to purchase a ticket/space for children under 2 years old. \nIs it wheelchair accessible? \nWe regret that Waterlow Park itself is not entirely accessible. If you or your children are in a wheelchair\, please call or email us and we’ll discuss what we can do to make sure you get the best experience \nCan I order food and drink? \nOur cafe will be open to order drinks and snacks.

SUMMARY:Make Britain Smile - Charity Board Game Day
DESCRIPTION:This October half term\, Asmodee – one of the UK’s top family games distributors – is hosting the ultimate board game day at Draughts Waterloo to raise money for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. \n\n\n\nAsmodee\, one of the world’s biggest board game companies\, are on a mission – to bring some fun to families this half term and put a smile on everyone’s face and some joy into hearts. So make sure you and your families have Thursday\, 26th October\, firmly in your diaries.  \n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome to play or learn how to play some incredibly fun board games this half-term holiday. We will have games that children and teens from 5 – 15 will enjoy\, plus demonstrators to show everyone how it is all done.  \n\n\n\nAnd who better to team up with than the well-known games café – Draughts in Waterloo\, London\, who are all about board games and having fun? This spectacular Play Day is open to all. Booking is essential so you don’t miss out!  \n\n\n\nThe fun and games begin at 10 am and last until 6 pm. Families can book into a three-hour slot with those all-important\, professional games demonstrators who will make the rules simple and the game play exhilarating – the perfect solution for the half-term slump\, parents – we got you! \n\n\n\nFamous games like Dobble\, Dobble Connect\, Taco\, Cat\, Goat\, Cheese\, Pizza and Bananagrams will feature in the day alongside Christmas hot list games such as Bunny Hops!\, Pass the Bomb\, and Toodles – there is something for everyone. \n\n\n\nOn the day\, donations are encouraged\, with every penny going to the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust (https://www.ellenmacarthurcancertrust.org/) to inspire young people aged 8-24 to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer. Lindsay Nehorai\, the Trust’s Fundraising Manager\, said: “Asmodee’s games play a big role in bringing young people together on Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust adventures. No trip is complete without an iconic night of Dobble below deck.  \n\n\n\nYoung people living through and beyond cancer often feel isolated from others their own age\, so the laughter and the friendships they make while playing games together is an integral part of rediscovering themselves and believing in a brighter future.”  \n\n\n\nThe idea of a Play Day came from Asmodee’s Head of Product – Commercial\, Greg Stanton\, who said: “October half term can place a big demand on families\, especially when trying to keep the children happy and entertained. We wanted to help and decided to put on a fabulous day for everyone to enjoy with any donations made\, benefitting the lives of children in the UK who are coping with cancer.  We hope everyone will have something to smile about this half term with our Play Day special\,” he said. \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with Draughts\, Events Manager Dan Gyte added\, “When our friends at Asmodee came to us with this idea\, we immediately said yes.  We all need some fun in our lives\, and this seemed to be such a positive initiative for families this half term. Our whole ethos is about playing games\, and Asmodee is helping more people to play more games more often\, so we are perfect partners. The fact that we can put on this event and also help young people who need support after illness\, alongside the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust\, is an absolute bonus.”

SUMMARY:In A Field By A Bridge FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:A brand new and unique (free) London festival launches this July. \n\n\n\nSummer 2023 sees the launch of ‘In a Field by a Bridge’\, a weekend festival with a  unique backdrop. In a community park beside an international landmark\, this event inspires sustainable living and celebrates community action. \n\n\n\nFrom when the sun sits high over Tower Bridge until the last pink rays disappear behind London Bridge\, on grassy fields next to the Thames\, this free festival showcases the juxtaposition of incredible London landmarks alongside cityscape\, nature and one of the world’s great rivers. \n\n\n\nCelebrating everything that Potters Fields Park and the London Bridge neighbourhood have to offer; merging green spaces\, evocative history\, wonderful architecture\, a diverse residential community\, and thriving businesses – this is one of London’s most culturally innovative\, sustainable and exciting districts. In a Field by a Bridge is the first opportunity to showcase what London Bridge has to offer as a leading environmentally-focused business district\, highlighting the transition to a carbon-neutral economy\, low-impact living and healthy lifestyles. The impact of this festival on the local community is aimed to create positive social and economic longevity far beyond this launch weekend. \n\n\n\n“Great festivals have meaning and a purpose  and  a team that means it\, and if you can add an amazing location\, then BINGO!\, In a Field by a Bridge has the aim to be an exemplary sustainable festival and in Team London Bridge\, a festival funder that “means it”.  \n\n\n\nThe location is nothing short of spectacular. Potters Fields is a beautifully maintained public green space overlooking the Thames and with views to the adjacent Tower Bridge\, London Bridge\, and The Tower of London. Across Tooley Street\, the festival’s second green space  St. John’s Churchyard\, is a wonderful community park that will play host to the Beyond Food-led “Feast in a Field“ initiative\, where local “legends in their own kitchen” will allow Londoners and visitors from all around the UK and the world to get a taste of delicacies that thus far only their families have been able to enjoy. \n\n\n\nWe are aiming to make In a Field by a Bridge a  must-attend annual event.  I would ensure you can  say you were there at that first one in July 2023 !” \n\n\n\nWayne Hemingway\, HemingwayDesign \n\n\n\nThis free festival aims to enable and encourage education and action on greener living through creative programming. It’s jam-packed with an incredible showcase of live performances\, interactive workshops\, film screenings\, architectural tours\, activities for all the family\, and more. \n\n\n\nThe full programme coming soon\, but here’s a sneak peek for now…. \n\n\n\n\nKeith Brymer Jones and Clayground mass participatory clay workshop celebrating the history of pottery-making in the area\n\n\n\nSocial Enterprise Beyond Food Community Feast in a Field\n\n\n\nProgramme of workshops\, talks & walks curated by London National Park City and its network of park rangers\n\n\n\nTopical talks programme with headline panellists\n\n\n\nLocal businesses & resident involvement\n\n\n\nFilm screenings\n\n\n\nSuitcase Sale\n\n\n\nDesigners and makers market\n\n\n\nStreet food & drink\n\n\n\nWorkshops\n\n\n\nMusic & Entertainment on a pedal-powered stage.\n\n\n\n\n——————————– \n\n\n\nFor a number of years\, the London Bridge community has been addressing global problems with local commitments. Matching the ambition of Southwark Council and the Mayor of London\, local businesses have committed to a first-of-its-kind route map with the aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and dramatically decreasing the 130\,000 tonnes of CO2e they produce annually – an output equivalent to powering 25\,295 homes a year. In a Field by a Bridge will highlight ways we can collectively and individually decarbonise and instil new ideas for low-carbon living into our daily routines.  \n\n\n\n“In a Field by a Bridge will mark the start of the summer for many of us. Alongside HemingwayDesign\, we have curated two days of riverside festivities for the curious\, creative and conscientious who just like to have a good time! Everything has been planned with sustainability in mind.  Come along and discover Feast in a Field – our community cookout\, experience making ceramics with Keith Brymer Jones of BBC2’s The Great Pottery Throw Down\, and find a pre-loved bargain at the massive suitcase sale along the Thames. We hope to see In a Field By a Bridge become a regular fixture on London’s cultural calendar for many years.”   \n\n\n\nEllie Beedham\, Director of Arts\, Team London Bridge \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n“Access to green space and nature has never been more important to our busy urban lives. With our award-winning parks\, commitment to sustainability\, passion for our area and pride in our community\, we’re excited to host the first In a Field by a Bridge festival.  We can’t wait to share two days of fun and inspiring activities with visitors from around the world and the corner.” \n\n\n\nSheila Benjamin\, Chief Executive of Potters Fields Park Management Trust \n\n\n\n“I am pleased and excited to be involved in this community event ‘In a Field by a Bridge’. It brings together the history of Potters Field on the banks of the Thames in the heart of London whilst creating an event that is accessible to the local community and beyond. Bringing historic places back to life through creativity is arguably the best way to highlight our past and recognise its significance for future generations.“ \n\n\n\nKeith Brymer Jones\, ceramics and homeware designer.  \n\n\n\n“We’re incredibly excited to be curating the London National Park City Zone at the first ever In A Field By A Bridge festival this summer\, not least because it coincides with the 4th anniversary of London becoming the world’s first National Park City. There will be events and activities galore\, all celebrating urban nature and the outdoors\, and we can’t wait to see you all there.” \n\n\n\nMark Cridge\, Executive Director\, London National Park City \n\n\n\n“Beyond Food Foundation and Brigade Bar+Kitchen have been in The Fire Station on Tooley Street for over a decade. Brigade is a social enterprise restaurant that cooks with live fire and smokes produce on site. Beyond Food is a charity that has helped over 7000 individuals whose lives have unravelled to regain confidence and independence. We have also supported over 2000 people to gain professional skills\, which have taken many to work in the hospitality industry. We are delighted to be involved in the community-focused event ‘In a Field by a Bridge’\, helping us to support and engage in our local community\, placing a spotlight on the work of our charity.” \n\n\n\nJo Littman\, Beyond Food \n\n\n\n“It was an enticing invitation from Wayne Hemingway to work on this inaugural festival on the site of such rich ceramics history. The offer to develop a large-scale participatory installation to animate the space with members of the public\, many of whom have never touched clay before\, goes to the heart of Clayground Collective’s ethos to bring art practice through clay to all.” \n\n\n\nCo-Directors Duncan Hooson\, Claire West & Julia Rowntree\, Clayground Collective \n\n\n\nIn a Field by a Bridge is just a short walk from London Bridge Station and the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers river bus service and is set amid the attractions of the London Bridge area with its cafes\, restaurants and theatres.  \n\n\n\nI: @inafieldbyabridge \n\n\n\nT: @inafieldfest

SUMMARY:SMALL WORLDS - TOM DE FRESTON
DESCRIPTION:No 20 Arts is delighted to present SMALL WORLDS\, the inaugural exhibition of Tom de Freston’s drawings. Long an admirer of Maurice Sendak\, Jon Klassen\, and Leonora Carrington\, and having built a career around the construction of multimedia worlds\, it is little wonder that de Freston has turned his hand to illustration in the past five years. From jointly creating stories around miraculous animals with his wife\, novelist Kiran Millwood Hargrave\, to being selected to make work for the first illustrated edition of David Almond’s iconic Skellig\, he has brought his full range of process to paper. Monoprinting\, collaging\, maquettes\, and painting combined with interplays of scale and texture give each finished work depth and intrigue. His fierce belief in an image’s ability to communicate complex narrative is on full display here\, made no less complex by the size\, simplicity of line\, and colour palette.

SUMMARY:Urban Village Fete - London’s Free Festival
DESCRIPTION:London’s Favourite Free Festival is back at Greenwich Peninsula\, with a line-up to entice the whole family. \n\n\n\nThe Urban Village Fete returns to Greenwich Peninsula for its 7th year with a cracking line-up of entertainment\, DJs\, workshops\, and talks – all for free! \n\n\n\nAlongside a packed programme of free entertainment throughout the day\, there’s a star-studded line-up of DJs keeping the party going\, with headline sets from Bradley Zero and other special guests taking over Central Park. After dark\, party-goers can head to Canteen for more drinks and dance on a heated indoor terrace. \n\n\n\nKicking off at 11 am\, there will be live performances\, arts and crafts\, food\, markets\, music and more\, with something for everyone to enjoy and get involved with throughout the day. Hosted in the heart of Greenwich Peninsula\, a riverside neighbourhood with art and culture embedded in its fabric\, the event attracts thousands of people from all over London for a free day out like no other in the capital.  \n\n\n\nDesign District will once again host Robert Elms in the Talks Tent to lead insightful conversations and spark debate across a range of topics from Sports to Sustainability. For those wanting to fill their bellies and brains\, Canteen Food Hall offers an eclectic mix of street food from 6 different vendors\, freshly shaken cocktails\, cold beer and plenty of fizzes to quench the thirst.

Art\, culture and creativity are embedded into the fabric of the place\, and the Fete gives us the opportunity to champion the best talent from across London and celebrate with our residents\, local community and visitors who travel from all over to experience a free\, fun-filled day out like no other.’ \n\n\n\n“It’s almost a decade since we started to develop the concept of a free multi-arts festival for London’s newest ‘urban village’. We had the simple premise of supersizing the concept of a much-loved village fete and placing all its parts\, from creative workshops to the music to the myriad of participatory activities\, the bars and street food\, all in the hands of the capital’s most creative practitioners. This year’s line-up is as good as you would get at many big ticket-priced events\, and it’s FREE and open to everyone.

SUMMARY:The Little Prince
DESCRIPTION:Come and find out how the Little Prince leaves behind his own tiny asteroid to journey through the universe\, coming face to face with the baffling world of grown-ups! \n\n\n\nHave you ever heard of a king who reigns over nothing? Or a businessman obsessively counting stars? Once on planet Earth\, the Little Prince is welcomed by a mysterious snake and a truly wise and friendly fox before encountering the lone pilot. Together they discover the power and beauty of friendship and the complexity of love. \n\n\n\nThe Little Prince is brought to life using Protein’s critically-acclaimed mix of dance\, humour and spoken word. With an original score by Frank Moon and design by Yann Seabra\, Protein returns to Woolwich Works with a specially adapted\, intimate version for smaller venues\, inviting us to look at the world through one’s heart and to reconnect with our inner child.

SUMMARY:Aladdin – Family Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Our first family theatre show of 2023 – and our 23rd since we started at Sydenham Centre – is a brand new\, musical version of the beloved Arabian nights tale ALADDIN! As always\, with Spontaneous\, expect a bit of a twist…young Aladdin dreams of a life of lazing around\, maybe kicking a ball now and again\, and one day being rich and marrying a Princess. So when the malicious magician Abanazar promises him a ‘get rich quick’ scheme\, how can he resist? But when he finds himself trapped in a cave with only a dusty lamp for company\, what’s a poor boy to do?  \n\n\n\nFeaturing original songs and music by Paul Tornbohm\, video effects and animation by Joe Kaufman of Red Kite Films and costumes by Jackie Poulett\, expect a highly original musical show from the makers of Tales of Beatrix Potter\, Rapunzel\, and last December’s The Blues Brothers Grimm. With lots of surprises\, mystery\, mayhem and a magical flying carpet for good measure\, this will be an unmissable event this Spring! \n\n\n\nAfter her debut as Princess Yasmeena in Sinbad the Sailor in 2021 we’re delighted that Valentina Pakou is returning – in the dual role of Aladdin’s Mother and the Princess – as well as choreographing the dance routines\, plus Spontaneous favourite Paul-D Stephenson (last seen as Prince Baraka in Rapunzel\, and The Gingerbread Man\, Sinbad the Sailor) as the malign magician Abanazar. Then making a very special appearance on video is Spontaneous regular William Hastings as the Genie! Last but not least\, Jyo Miarkali makes her Spontaneous debut as that lazy scamp Aladdin himself! \n\n\n\n Our family shows are always very popular so we advise early booking to avoid disappointment. Tickets may be purchase in advance online (recommended) or at Kirkdale Bookshop in person (or by phone 020 8778 4701\, Mon-Sat 9.30am-5pm). Any remaining seats will be available on the door from 30 mins before show start time.
