Throughout the year, Meanwhile Gardens comes alive with festivals, performances, workshops, community events and cultural celebrations that bring people together.

Our Festival Site provides a flexible outdoor space where neighbours, artists, community organisations and local groups can gather to celebrate the rich diversity of North Kensington and North Paddington.

Each year, the space also plays an important role during Notting Hill Carnival, welcoming visitors while remaining firmly rooted in the local community that has cared for the Gardens for generations.
