SUMMARY:Connaught Village Garden Festival
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 11th June sees the arrival of the first-ever Connaught Village Garden Festival – a day-long celebration with free craft workshops\, in conversation with talks\, outdoor art installations\, alfresco feasting and more\, coinciding with the National Garden Scheme’s (NGS) annual charity event. \nFollow the Connaught Village dog-friendly walking tour and visit the Hyde Park Estate’s five secret residential gardens for a small donation of £6 to the National Garden Scheme charity. The Gardens include Coniston\, Devonport\, Quadrangle\, Reflections and the award-winning modernist garden\, The Water Gardens. Each garden has information on the flowers and the natural wildlife found living in the middle of the West End – including one friendly heron! Last year the NGS donated over £3 million to its beneficiary charities.  \nExperience many FREE craft workshops and botanical-themed events\, including terracotta pot painting\, macrame weaving\, botanical life drawing\, flower arranging\, etc. Begin with a morning yoga flow\, stay for an afternoon of alfresco feasting\, and explore the many independent shops\, art galleries\, and cafés. Discover Hyde Park stables – tucked away in the stylish Bathurst Mews – and meet the horses that reside there or arrange to go for an afternoon canter in the park. Plus\, take advantage of a glorious array of exclusive in-store promotions! \nIf that’s not enough\, enjoy a sculptural garden talk by renowned local artists Heywood and Condie\, the custodians and designers of the Hyde Park Estate gardens who specialise in horticultural installation art. Also taking place on the day will be a historical walking tour with author and award-winning Blue Badge Guide Rachel Kolsky. \nThe full schedule of events and activities will be announced soon via the Connaught Village website here.

SUMMARY:Indie Bookshop Phlox Celebrates International Women's Day in Connaught Village
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate IWD\, Connaught Village invites indie bookshop Phlox Books to pop up over March with women-focused books and female author events featuring the likes of Abi Daré and Mona Arshi to showcase the female experience in literary form. \nFounder of East London independent bookshop Phlox Books\, Aimée Madill has proudly been serving ‘Books. Booze. Coffee’ since 2017 and is no stranger to pop-up bookstores in her role as ‘go-to’ for festival bookshops. On this occasion\, Aimée has taken the opportunity IWD has presented to platform female authors and host a series of events in Connaught Village. Located at 12 Connaught Street\, the pop-up will operate as a bookshop and events space where notable authors will discuss their work. \nAt street view\, the front of the bookstore will feature hand-painted illustrations by female illustrator Alezeia Fidalgo who has a penchant for books and creating original illustrations to accompany the text. \nThe first event at Phlox Connaught Village will take place on the day itself\, Tuesday 8th March\, with award-winning author\, Abi Daré\, whose debut novel ‘The Girl With the Louding Voice’ was published in 2020\, longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize and chosen as a BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime. Abi will be joined by Mona Arshi\, a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4 and poet whose debut collection of poems received the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and appeared in the Poems on the Underground series. Arshi will be talking about her debut novel\, ‘Somebody Loves You’ (published 2021). Events will continue throughout March with a selection of authors handpicked by Aimée. Each event will see a discussion between the authors and an open forum for the audience to explore different themes of the female experience. \nEach event promises guests a deep dive into each woman’s creative process and an excellent chance to explore their views on IWD\, the female gaze\, and their respective literary futures. Wine will be served\, provided by Connaught Cellars\, in line with Phlox Book’s mantra of making bookshops relaxed\, social spaces. \nTickets for the event are free\, but registration is necessary\, although some spaces will be reserved for walk-ins.
