MARKET AT HORNSEY TOWN HALL SQUARE
Saturday featured an all-day market with local traders offering a variety of food, drinks, and locally-made crafts. The stalls showcased a wide range of items, including cards, gifts, jewelry, and clothing.

EVENTS AT HORNSEY LIBRARY
The library buzzed with a variety of events both indoors and outdoors. The Canopy Stage, known for its excellent acoustics, featured music concerts under the awning. Inside the library, visitors enjoyed talks, films, activities, and more. Additionally, a gardening and planting project was underway in front of the library, with many volunteers working together to transform the space into a vibrant green area.

A large crowd gathered at the Town Hall Square on Saturday for a full day of music starting at 11am. We were delighted to have Catherine West open the festival with a speech.

TOWER MUSIC FESTIVAL
St Mary's Tower, Hornsey hosted an outdoor music festival on Saturday with a fantastic array of band, plus a bar and food (pizzas and tacos) plus awe-inspiring light show. The KUT were headliners on Saturday. Sunday was a 'Jimmy C Blues Picnic' takeover, plus Father's Day, so there was plenty on hand for children including Batman abseiling down the Tower! Also a bar and food.
