Join us for a day of free family fun at the Clocktower Festival, Islington

Taking place on Sunday, August 4 between 12-6pm at Caledonian Park, Market Road, Islington, the free festival is organised by The Clocktower Residents Group Committee and the Caledonian Park Friends Group.

It is supported by The Guinness Partnership and City of London, Higgins Partnership, Hyde Foundation, St Luke’s, Kadans Science Partners, The Arsenal Foundation, Minuteman Press Camden and Southern Housing.

There will be plenty of things to keep the kids busy including a climbing wall, bouncy castle, nature zone, art & crafts (puppet making, seed bombs, story Stones, henna) as well as an assortment of stalls, including face painting, and community partners such as Islington Fostering. There will also be affordable delicious food including pizza available.

While you enjoy the live music, including local bands Hastings and The G.O.L, Mariachi Las Adelitas UK, Suzy Q & Tony G and Scott McMahon, either relax and sit back or put on your dancing shoes and dance the afternoon away.

Eadaoin Kelly, Senior Community Partnership Manager at The Guinness Partnership said: “It’s great that the Clocktower Festival is back. We’re delighted to be supporting this festival by working with the volunteers to deliver a fun filled afternoon for the local community which improves health and well-being. Creating inclusive communities is important to Guinness and we hope everyone enjoys the day.”

Chantal Williams, Festival Coordinator said: “The festival has been a fantastic team effort with the support of our Holloway Ward Councillors, donors and Islington Council. Our amazing Holloway Ward Councillor Claire Zammit has been working with us from the start – we couldn’t have relaunched the festival without her.

"Officers from Islington Council GreenSpace and Community Safety Team plus Holloway Ward community Policing team are all involved and providing crucial support and advice.”
