Paradise Together - Community growing

Looking for a fun way to spend your Sunday morning? Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or new to growing, everyone is welcome at our weekly Community Growing sessions!

We’ll guide you through hands-on gardening tasks to nurture our vibrant community garden. Sessions are relaxed, fun, and a great way to connect with others while giving back to your community.

Liberty Festival - Capturing the forest

Capturing the forest is a powerful, multi-media immersive installation exploring access to nature for everyone who isn’t able to. Audiences will be treated to a magical “unforgettable experience” immersed in the essence of a forest landscape, merging sculpture, ceramics, sound, film and movement.

Liberty Festival - Sunday picnic in the park

Bring your friends, pack a picnic and join us for a final moment of togetherness out in the green! We’ll be joined by the ever-fabulous Miss Jacqui and her band for a luscious live set at 4pm, before a final thank you and goodbye to the festival from the CRIPtic team, Liberty artists and our friends and partners from across creative Wandsworth. This is a self-catering event.
