Fulham Gets Set to Celebrate from June 27


Our annual festival offers nine days of action and excitement

Residents are invited to join the nine-day festival of fun with activities across Fulham to suit every taste.

Celebrating Fulham 2015 is offering a packed programme of events, kicking off with a Summer Market in a pedestrianised North End Road with 150 stalls, children’s entertainment and much more on June 27.

Rocking West Ken will celebrate the area’s musical past in a walking tour taking people back through the decades on July 4.

Another highlight of the celebrations will be The Fair on the Green treating residents and visitors to a family fun day in Parsons Green with rides, performances and over 100 stalls also on July 4.

Festival organiser Maya Donelan says: " There’s something for everyone to enjoy. Why not watch Wimbledon on a roof terrace, learn to bluff your way with French wines, join in a sing-along, see a play or a classic film or take in a concert?

" Or you could go walking with bats, explore monuments in Margravine Cemetery, take a lion house tour, go foraging for food or just stroll around Charing Cross Hospital’s unique art collection."

Cllr Andrew Jones, cabinet member with responsibility for the local economy and the arts, says: "“The council is delighted to be backing this popular Fulham festival. I hope people will enjoy themselves and let us know what they think."

See the council website for some more of the highlights on offer and we'll keep you posted with details of the events as they happen.
