Become a Friend of Gillespie Park

 

​The Friends of Gillespie Park Committee meets from time to time and has its AGM in the spring, when you can enjoy a guest speaker and have a glass of wine. Each year 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. If you want to become a Friend of Gillespie Park please email us at friendsofgillespiepark@gmail.com. ​​Please check our Instagram for our latest updates!
