Willesden Green Town Team

The willesden Green Town Team is for local residents, businesses and anyone with an interest in their local area to be involved in their local community. It's a really exciting time in Willesden Green, the are loads of things happening and lots of changes in the area that everyone deserves to have a say in.

We are about to launch our own Town Team website so we can start to share all the things we are involved with but if you want to be part of the Town Team come to our next meeting 6.30pm on Tuesday 13th November @ 1 Queens Parade.

See you there!!!

Launch of Queens Parade's Pop Up Cinema

Next week sees the first ever session of the pop up cinema!

As it's Halloween, we thought we'd show something in keeping with the season and at present it's a toss up between The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - The Disney version and Tim Burton The Nightmare Before Christmas. I have to confess to never having seen either of them so I'm going with public opinion on this one and both films seem to be equally popular.





Which film will it be, answers on a postcard please (alternatively as its 2012 not 1984, a comment will do).

See you next Saturday!!!

Lauch of Queens Parade Pop Up Cinema

It's finally here. One of the reasons this blog has been so, so, so, desperately quiet - for which I apologise... This, life and the start of a new school year which means 12 hour days and working weekends, are all to blame! I promise however, to be much more responsible in the future and to blog and keep you updated as much as humanly possibly (sort of)

Anyhow...I'm launching a pop up cinema that will be FREE to all! I'm hoping to have a popcorn machine and all sorts! Yippee i hear you screech. Phase 1 is only for children and will happen on Saturday mornings but i'm hoping to do lot's more soon so watch this space and see you on October 27th. x

Chit Chat & Make That Special

There will be a special Chit-Chat & Make That session at Roses & String on Tuesday 7th August and I'm super excited.



You will be able to make your own Floral Headdress (see pictures below). The cost is £8 per person which is a bargain. Drop-ins welcome but if possible please email laurakate86@gmail.com in advance to confirm your attendance.

I'll definitely be there, you'll probably see me cycling around on my Poppy with my headdress for long time and I'll match my bike!
