On Friday 3rd June we are hosting our Bankside Open Spaces Festival - a fantastic free all day street party in the heart of London, filled with live music, performances and activities for the whole family. We're encouraging everyone to come together in a celebration of our open spaces and the community that love them. Make the most of the Queen’s Jubilee Bank Holiday with a free community street party right on your doorstep!

We are looking for fabulous people to lend us some of their time and join the party as a volunteer! We can promise you a fantastic time - all for a good cause too.
