Join us for fun spring craft for the whole family to enjoy, listen to live music and register your interest in being a part of a group that helps the council to look after the improved space going forward.
You’ll also be able to plant your own sunflower seeds and paint your own pots to take away!
No booking required, just turn up.
Time: 12pm to 2pm
Location: In the square outside of The Clock Café, located at 379 Church Rd, E10 7JG. (Opposite the Post Office).

Over the past month local artist, Jake Green, has brought Leyton High Road to life with an exciting trail of artwork in shops and outdoor locations that celebrate the town's rich footballing history.
Having worked as a steward and turnstile operator at Leyton Orient as a teenager, Jake revisits his hometown to reflect on his own memories, catch up with old friends and interview local legends to pull together a visual archive that celebrates the people and the places that make up one of the oldest football clubs in London.
To join the trail, simply visit Leyton High Road and look out for floor vinyls on the high road that you can scan to access the art trail's map, or visit the digital map on our website.
The trail runs until Saturday 26 April.
This project is part-funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
