As we slowly emerge from grey and wet months, and awake to long-awaited warmth and colour in our gardens and natural spaces, in this edition we celebrate soup, introduce our newest member of the office team and see what’s new at Hornsey Vale.
Highlights? We’re a part of Crouch End Festival on Saturday 15 June and are launching Sunday afternoon craft sessions on 30 June.
As always, we encourage you to browse our website to see What’s On at the centre.
