Coming soon – the Bankside Open Spaces Festival, a family-friendly day celebrating BOST’s open spaces and our brilliant local community.
Join us on Saturday 25 September from 12-6pm, in Red Cross Garden, Marlborough Sports Garden and Crossbones Graveyard for live music, dance, sports and games for children and young people, and much, much more!
Our open spaces are the perfect open, outdoor environment for people to safely come back together again. So come down and help us celebrate the strength and resilience of our community. Keep an eye on our social media channels for updates!
