APPLE DAY - Save the date!
Join us for our annual APPLE DAY! Each year as the Friends of Gillespie Park we run a Summer Celebration in May/June and an Apple Day in October. Both events are large festivals for the local community featuring music all day, activities for all ages, market stalls and more. We organise these events in collaboration with the Islington Ecology Centre and numerous local partners, music groups, artists, craftspeople and nature campaign groups. On Apple Day we have fun juicing delicious apples grown in Kent.
