Looking for plans for the final bank holiday weekend of the summer?

There’s the dog show, there’ll be a plant sale hosted by local green fingered collective Hackney Community Gardeners, a vintage market, Plus there’s plenty of outdoor games for grown ups and kids. Think coconut shy, GIANT Jenga, rounders and more.
