Past Events

 

 

Open Air Cinema 

From 2013 to 2019, SNUG organised annual family, free, open-air cinema evenings on the common. These proved extremely popular. If you'd like to see these return please get involved.

Assembling and lining up the huge screen takes a lot of time, some muscle, dexterity and understanding of wind direction and plenty of good luck!

Children's story telling


Our story telling sessions for under fives are usually run as part of our fundays and were previously a stand-alone event during the Stoke Newington Book Festival.

Sometimes the story's theme is linked to a treasure hunt or quiz. In 2018 it involved searching for Wally.

Dog training

The common is popular with dogs and dog-owners. We invited the Dogs Trust here several times to run dog training sessions and other fun activities for dogs.
