Queen’s Park Day 2025 is on Sunday 14th September
12 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.
Queen’s Park Day has been going for 47 years (apart from a 2 year Covid break). We’re delighted to be making it 48 this year. Originally a humble event not even held in the Park, it grew to today’s bustling free event for the whole family, a celebration of our local community in the guise of a traditional village fete. With a difference!
Enjoy an array of live entertainment – music, dance and performance – across the bandstand and community stage. Join in a Flamenco or Morris dancing workshop and learn from the professionals, or enjoy the clamour and glamour of the Temple drums from the Shree Swaminarayan Hindu Temple. And much more!
Main arena events start at noon with the All Pets Dog Show, with a class for everyone’s precious pooch. The Black Eagle Acrobats from Tanzania follow, building up to a joyous return of the Tug of War mid-afternoon. Last year’s ‘tug’ was a glorious pile-on, with some very serious competitors alongside those who could barely keep their feet for laughing. Come join in!
Making and baking competitions are always a highlight of the day. Whether cinnamon buns, tapenade or getting fiendishly creative with cardboard, there’s plenty of opportunity to participate. Click here for details of how.
And if you’re hungry or thirsty our food stalls offer a tantalising choice of world food and beverages, not forgetting the wonderful freshly made falafel and salad combos always available from the Park’s own caff.
To round off the experience, peruse the myriad of stalls showcasing makers, bakers and traders from our area. Live. Love. Local.
Many people work to make this day happen. Thanks, as ever, to the many volunteers who support before, during and after the event. Want to get involved? Get in touch.
And very special thanks to Kensal Rise Estate and Letting Agents Hamptons for their generous sponsorship, which helps to keep the day free to all.
