Welcome
Queen’s Park Day is run by the Queen’s Park Area Residents’ Association every September. The date for this year is Sunday 12th September 2010 and we look forward to seeing you there.
All stall places have now been allocated
This is a popular local event which attracts thousands of visitors. There’s something for everyone: stalls, exciting arena events, children’s fancy dress, music and so much more.
Queen’s Park Day 2009 was a fantastic event, attended by 13,764 visitors, several dogs in fancy dress, 8 donkeys, 6 birds of prey and a jewel beetle (invited). The atmosphere was lively, the stalls interesting, the food delicious and the arena events breathtaking.
The idea in 2009 was to have fun on a budget. We were lucky enough to receive a Grassroots Grant from North West London community Foundation and sponsorship from some local businesses which enabled us to offer some great free events and others at very low prices. A whole family could enjoy Queen’s Park Day without spending anything at all! The arena events, magic shows by Mr Alexander, bandstand music and cycling roadshow were all free. Some of the stalls also had free activities for children. The donkeys, climbing wall, Rope-a-phobia all cost only £1.
Funding is going to be more difficult this year, but we will still offer as many free activities as possible. We’ve already booked a strong man, acrobats, the Eagle and Vulture show for the arena and the bikes will be back- but more of them this time!
The donkeys and climbing wall are booked and City of London park staff will be organising the popular tree climbing.
