KCL Garden Party
Keats House & Community Library
Hampstead
Sunday 30th June
2.00 – 5.00pm
If you have been to the Library’s Garden Party before you will remember how delightful these afternoons have been.
The whole family can enjoy the lovely garden of Keats House while the children are entertained with rhyme-time with Sasha, storytelling, art activities, Magic with Tom Grubb, Mystical Fairies, face painting, and a giant chess set.
We also have a display of birds of prey, giving everyone a chance to get up close to these remarkable birds. Finally, enjoy a ballet story time with Lucy Heard followed by a ballet dance show by Lucy and the House of Ballet.
For the adults, we have a wine bar, and for everyone, there are ice creams, tea, and delicious cakes.
Free admission.

Hampstead has a long association with chess and The Hampstead Summer Festival has included chess in the fun every year since it’s inception.
Professional chess coach, Bryan Ellis, will be on hand at the Family Garden Party in the Garden of Keats House on 30th June from 2-5pm. Bryan holds regular classes in Keats Library on Saturdays and is brilliant with beginners as well as the more experienced kids. There will also be a giant chess set on the lawn as a fun introduction to the pieces.
Keats Community Library is located at
10 Keats Grove, Hampstead, NW3 2RR
