“MCWH!” has been given permission by Merton Council to plant a Remembrance Woodland in Wandle Park for the 240 young men from Colliers Wood who died during WW1. We’ll be planting wild cherry, silver birch, rowan, hawthorn and hazel to provide “all year round colour” and improve air quality. You’re very welcome to join us from 10am to 4pm from Thursday 16th to Sunday 19th.

We’ll be celebrating World Book Night on Thursday 23rd at the Donald Hope Library with readings from “Skellig” and “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry”, plus a performance from “The Tempest” by members of the Carlton Theatre Company, plus readings of Shakespeare’s sonnets.
