The Spring Fête of Solidarity is a celebration of the return of the sun through the lens of mutual aid.

Join us for a vibrant afternoon featuring speed dating, creative workshops, and groove-driven music. Throughout the day, you can also explore our community market, fortune telling, face-painting, and fresh pastries.

All funds raised go to Giuseppe Conlon House, an emergency shelter in North London providing a lifeline for unhoused asylum seekers with no recourse to public funds.
