Ashburton Playing Fields Tree Planting Day! – Saturday 30th November 2024

Come and plant trees with us and share our tree planting day with your community!

Trees for Cities is pleased to be working with Croydon Council to plant new trees in Ashburton Playing Fields. These trees will complement the existing habitat features on site, provide additional shade and visual amenity, and enhance biodiversity.

Please join us on Saturday 30th November 2024, 10am-3pm at Ashburton Playing Fields, Croydon CR0 7RA for a free community tree planting day!

This will be a family-friendly day, as we celebrate 30 years of impact with food, activities, and entertainment, and plant thousands of urban trees for future generations to enjoy.

We would like to include as many people from the local community as possible!

Tree planting is suitable for all ages. No experience is required. Trees for Cities will provide all the tools and equipment you need as well as guidance on tree planting from our team. There will also be a free lunch and refreshments provided.

The Big Lunch in Bromley – NEW DATE ADDED

The Big Lunch is the UK’s annual get-together for neighbours and communities, with millions of people coming together for a few hours of food, friendship, and fun. It connects people and encourages friendlier, safer communities where people start to share more – conversations, ideas, skills, resources and friendship.

The Big Lunch is once again coming to Bromley to help people come together to celebrate their community, neighbourhood friendships and street friends.

The Big Lunch is an initiative which comes from Eden Project Communities, an organisation which fosters & values connection, community & neighbourly spirits. The same organisation has brought us the Big Jubilee lunch in 2022, and the Big Coronation lunch in 2023.

This year we have partnered the Big Lunches with the London Festival of Architecture and hope to bring people together from across London to experience why Bromley is a top destination with so much to offer.

These FREE Big lunches are:

NEW DATE ADDED: Saturday 15th June – The Look Out Café, Biggin Hill Airport – 11 am – 1 pm

Saturday 22nd June – Chislehurst Common – Round about green near Prickend Pond – 11 am – 1 pm

Saturday 29th June – Queens Gardens , Bromley South – 11 am – 1 pm
