Family Allotment Club 2025

Families and carers with pre-schoolers (0 – 5) learn to garden and get creative on Friday mornings! You can expect to grow and harvest food, do some planting, take care of seedlings that you can also grow at home, have fun exploring bugs and get stuck into craft activities. There will be something new to do every week.

This is a publicly contributed event and not a council event. If you would like, you can submit your own event and have it appear on our website (subject to review).

Description

Family Allotment Club is back!

Get your hands in the mud and get creative on Friday mornings! You can expect to grow and harvest food, do some planting, take care of seedlings that you can also grow at home, have fun exploring bugs and get stuck into craft activities. There will be something new to do every week.

Each session is run by our Community Gardener Anne Gumuschian and Associate Artist Laura Dee Milnes.

The sessions will run every Friday morning June – October, 10am-12pm (except 1 Aug, 22 Aug and 19 Sept).

Two drop-in slots are open between 10-10.45 am and 11-11.45 am, no booking required.

Sessions are free and open to all families and carers with pre-schoolers (0 – 5).

Please note children must be accompanied by an adult. Make sure you wear appropriate clothing for outdoor play.

Find us at Southwark Park Galleries, Lake Gallery Garden. Check where to find us here.

The Allotment Club for local families and carers with pre-schoolers is part of our larger programme of learning activities. For more information about the programme, please sign up for our newsletter or give your contact details to the Artist Associate and Community Gardener at the allotment sessions.

The Allotment Club is generously supported by Arts Council England; NSET; Southwark Charities; Coop Local Community Fund and Veolia.
