Free workshop for LGBT+ History Month! Upcycling ceramics with House of Frisson. Booking essential.

Participants must bring their own ceramic plate/bowl/dish to upcycle. All other materials provided.

Join artist Luciano Rocha for a hands‑on upcycling session inspired by his exhibition House of Frisson: Elevating the Misfit. Participants are invited to bring their own ceramic plate to transform using collage, colour, and imagery drawn from Bruce Castle Museum’s LGBTQ+ archive and Luciano’s distinctive visual language.

Free, all welcome. Refreshments included.

Pancake Day is a great occasion for all the family. Whether it’s pancakes for breakfast or tea, there is the sweet smell of frying batter, and the constant piling on plates of each cooked pancake to be topped with – what? Did you favour the traditional sugar and lemon, or go for honey, or other toppings? Today there are many more toppings offered, especially savoury ones (only those pancakes are called crepes!). 

Free, drop in. Suitable for families with children aged 3 to 6 years old.

In an ordinary street, close to Bruce Grove Station, hidden beneath a row of late 19th century housing, lies an ancient relic of Tottenham’s past.

You may have walked past without a second glance, scarcely noticing the road name, or perhaps even wondered who is St Loy? Here is meant to be a holy well, given a French saint’s name.

Where is the well now? And what on earth do horses have to do with it?

Free, all welcome. Booking essential.

Starts: Abney Park Cemetery main entrance, at 219 Stoke Newington High Street, N16 0LH.

Meet at 10.45am for a 11am start.
