Families invited to enjoy free 'Hello Summer' fun day in Wembley Park

From 11am to 3pm, London’s most exciting new neighbourhood will be awash with music, games, laughter and a whole host of creative activities.

The free ‘Hello Summer!’ event is taking place in partnership with Busk in London and Annie’s Kids Club and will feature an array of activities tailored to all ages.

Children will be able to take part in a wide variety of summer craft activities and workshops including pavement chalk drawing, playground games such as hopscotch, multicoloured scratch art and stencilling, abstract bubble art with paint and pens, decorate your own tote bag to take home and flower paper plate creation.

Set against the backdrop of the vibrant Wembley Park Farmers’ Market taking place in Market Square, a variety of crafting activities will be on offer throughout the day. Parents can pick up a selection of epicurean delights while youngsters tease out their inner Picasso. Market Square will also be hosting face-painting from 11am to 3pm and balloon modelling from 11am to 1pm.

For youngsters (and grownups!) who like to sing and dance, the stunning Sound Shell in Samovar Space will be home to a series of lively events. From 11-11.45am, audiences will have the chance to sing along to their favourite Disney classics with Musical Theatre performer, busker and artist, Jasmine Earl, while an interactive dance workshop with East London Dance from 12-12.45pm will provide the chance to learn some new moves.

The Sound Shell will then host a hula workshop by international hula hoop performer Angie Mack from 1-1.45pm before East London Dance return for another dance workshop from 2-2.45pm. The event will culminate with a freestyle dance party at 2.45pm, providing everyone with a chance to show off their moves and dance their heart out.

The summer fun continues over on Olympic Way, with a selection of classic and new street games taking place between 11am and 12pm. Further games will take place from 1-3pm, with plenty of chances to play and win as part of the family-friendly fun.

To top the day off and snap a few photos to cherish, there will be a floral bench selfie spot available throughout the ‘Hello Summer!’ event. Little ones should look out for costumed characters ready for some fun photo ops.
