    Shakespeare will be performed in the Quiet Garden in Queen’s Park for the fourth year running next year. The play will be A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the date is Saturday June 22 2019.  More details will be available at the Shakespeare in the Squares website nearer the time, but for now, it’s a date for next year’s diary.
     

  • Diary date: The annual QPARA bird-walk in Queen’s Park on Saturday 2nd June

    Please join us for a stroll through Queen’s Park and Paddington Cemetery. Meet at the park café at 9.30am. The walk will take about 90 minutes, but people can join or leave at any time. We will be looking out especially for Green and Great Spotted Woodpeckers and Swifts. Last year a record 18 walkers spotted or heard 22 species. Bring binoculars if you have them, but if not, just bring yourself!

    PS We have had over 100 redwings in the Park at any one time during the last three months but they have now returned to the Continent.

  • Park café reopens


    Great that the new temporary tenants (Hoxton Beach) reopened the park café today after a quick clean up and repaint. Drinks, homemade food for adults and children, bread, cakes etc.
