In recent decades there have been major declines in London and nationally in biodiversity – the variety and abundance of wildlife species (e.g. native plants, birds, mammals, insects). Fortunately, it is possible to reverse these trends in major urban areas like London if local authorities, voluntary organisations and members of the public combine forces and make this a priority. Join local wildlife enthusiast and photographer Czech Conroy, who will describe how we can increase wildflower-rich areas in suburban London, and thereby boost the numbers of pollinating insects (e.g. butterflies, bees) and other wildlife. Tickets are Pay What You Can from £3! BOOK HERE

Join us at Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses for a cosy, intimate evening of music inspired by the natural world, as Alice Boyd launches her second EP, Cloud Walking. As the night draws in, gather for an atmospheric performance bringing the sounds of the mountains to Brockwell park. This twilight gig will offer a moment of warmth and reflection as we head into winter, exploring connection to landscape and the art of slowing down. Alice Boyd is a singer-songwriter and sound artist based in South London. Her music intertwines folk-inspired harmonies, ambient electronics and field recordings to ponder the intersection of human life and the landscapes we call home. For this early evening gig, Alice and her band will present her second EP Cloud Walking, inspired by a journey into Scotland’s Cairngorm mountains. In September 2023, Alice Boyd and eight other women retraced the footsteps of pioneering Scottish nature writer Nan Shepherd. Over four days, they hiked, camped and faced the elements, drawing inspiration and solace from the landscape and Shepherd’s writing. Alice will be joined by her band Daisy Russell and Jacob Norris for this performance. Support act to be announced. BOOK HERE
