SUMMARY:Marmalade and Masquerades - Live Performance with Narration
DESCRIPTION:Marmalade and Masquerades \nAndré Caplet: Conte Fantastique (1922) after Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death\, for harp\, narrator and string quartet. Story adapted by Erin Muldoon. \nHerbert Chappell: Paddington’s First Concert (mid-1970s)\, arranged for the same ensemble by Roger Montgomery. \nTravel from the familiar warmth of 32\, Windsor Gardens\, home to London’s favourite bear\, into the shadowy world of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death. This imaginative programme brings together two contrasting tales\, showing how music can express both light and dark\, comfort and mystery. \nThrough engaging live performance with narration\, children and families will discover how composers use sound to tell stories. Some feel cosy\, playful\, and curious. Others are dramatic\, eerie and full of suspense. Each invites listeners to picture characters\, places and emotions in their own way. \nOn one side\, Paddington Bear’s world is brought to life through music that celebrates kindness\, humour and small everyday adventures. On the other hand\, André Caplet’s Conte Fantastique draws us into a darker\, more mysterious atmosphere\, inspired by Poe’s haunting tale of Prince Prospero’s abbey. \nPlaced side by side\, these works reveal how music can spark imagination across very different moods and stories. Together\, they offer a rich and memorable introduction to the power of musical storytelling. \nTo Hire String Quartets  & Harpists in London for Private and Corporate Events\, visit Music for London.

SUMMARY:The Friends of Holland Park Art Exhibition 2026
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, The Friends of Holland Park once again turns the Orangery at the heart of the park into an art gallery. \nFor more than forty years\, Friends who are artists and artists who become Friends have come together to show and sell their artwork. The colourful presentation of works by more than 80 predominantly local artists ranges from greeting cards and small prints to large paintings\, from pieces of jewellery to ceramics and sculpture \nA jury led by curator and artist Gordon French awards cash prizes for artistic excellence in several categories as well as for work that best expresses the Spirit of Holland Park. Visitors can support The Friends of Holland Park by buying a work from the exhibition or by entering the raffle for one of the tempting prizes donated by local businesses. \nEvery year\, one artist is offered a dedicated feature wall for a more extensive presentation. This year\, The Friends invited Gordon French to provide a mini-retrospective of his own creative practice to thank him and his family for organising the art exhibition for the past 12 years. \nThe concept of holding an art show at the heart of Holland Park was introduced by Christopher Wood and the late Sir Hugh Casson\, renowned architect and former President of the Royal Academy\, during their respective tenures as Chairman and President of the Friends of Holland Park. \nWorking in close liaison with the local borough and park staff\, The Friends of Holland Park is a local community group dedicated to the preservation\, protection and improvement of Holland Park as a place of historic and ecological interest and beauty. \nThe exhibition is sponsored by The Ilchester Estates\, which is fitting as the Ilchester family were the last private owners of Holland House.

SUMMARY:Tweed Run London - Saturday 18th April
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 18 April 2026\, The Tweed Run returns to London\, transforming the city’s streets into a moving tableau of beautifully dressed cyclists\, rolling past some of the capital’s most recognisable landmarks. Hundreds of riders\, impeccably turned out\, come together for one of London’s most visually striking and culturally distinctive events. \nNow in its 18th year\, The Tweed Run is a celebration of modern nostalgia – an event that invites people to step away from screens\, slow the pace\, and reconnect through a shared experience. It blends heritage style with contemporary values\, championing slow fashion\, sustainability and the simple pleasure of riding together through the city. \nParticipants are encouraged to dress with creativity\, pairing tailoring\, texture and personal expression with the timeless form of the bicycle. Many riders take to the streets on beautifully built Pashley bicycles – the iconic British manufacturer celebrating its centenary year in 2026 – creating a fitting tribute to the enduring relationship between craftsmanship\, design and the joy of cycling. The result is a day that feels cinematic\, joyful and quietly rebellious – a reminder that style can be thoughtful\, and that community still matters. \nAt its heart\, The Tweed Run is about getting offline\, gathering together\, and creating something that feels both timeless and relevant – evoking the camaraderie of years gone by\, while reflecting modern attitudes towards fashion\, sustainability and how we choose to show up in the world.

SUMMARY:Lambslaughter
DESCRIPTION:“[Lambslaughter] captures the strange intensity of teenage consciousness with an honesty that feels almost documentary. It does not sentimentalise girlhood. It remembers it.” A Young(ish) Perspective \nFollowing a critically acclaimed\, sold-out run at Playhouse East\, the award-winning Lambslaughter lands at the King’s Head Theatre for one night only. \nSet in a Catholic girls’ school in Merseyside in 2013\, the play follows two sixth-formers\, Chloe and Jade\, and their increasingly blurred relationship with their English teacher\, Mr Barrett. In the absence of parental supervision and under the influence of social media—personified by the vitriolic\, anonymous Twitter account @OurLadyProbz—the girls navigate a world failing to care for them with razor-sharp wit that masks a growing desperation. \nLambslaughter is a searing\, unsettling exploration of girlhood\, power\, and survival at the dawn of the smartphone age. \n“The ensemble maintains a tone of startling realism throughout. The acting is extraordinary in its restraint and credibility.” A Young(ish) Perspective

At a time when community can feel especially important\, we open our doors to everyone\, whether you observe Nowruz each year\, are discovering Persian culture\, holidays and traditions for the first time\, or just want to join in. \nEmbracing the arrival of spring\, Nowruz is a 14 day tradition enjoyed for more than 3\,000 years by over 300 million people worldwide\, particularly across Western Asia\, Central Asia\, the Caucasus\, the Black Sea Basin\, the Balkans\, and South Asia. Deeply rooted in Persian culture\, Nowruz is marked by renewal\, hope and time spent together with friends and family\, especially outdoors. The Nowruz festivities culminate after 13 days on Sizdeh Bedar\, also known as Nature’s Day\, during which people spend time picnicking outdoors to keep bad luck at bay. \nWaterlow Park\, with its secret enclaves\, ponds and myriad of trees (including a Persian Ironwood)\, brings to mind a Persian garden\, and has become an important and beautiful place for local families and friends to come together.
