What else is happening?

The organisers also list free circus-skills activities, children’s theatre and a tree-themed stilt walker. Food and drink are available, including picnic specials, pizza and ice cream, but these are not included for free.

Getting to the bandstand

The bandstand is beside Parliament Hill Café on the south-east side of Hampstead Heath. Gospel Oak is a practical nearby Overground station. Hampstead Heath station and buses serving Parliament Hill Fields are alternatives; use TfL journey planning for the route that suits you.

The official listing describes the event as accessible and inclusive, with toilets nearby. The venue is on the Heath, so anyone with specific access needs should check the route and ground conditions with the organiser before travelling.
