What’s Happening
Parsons Green Fair
The annual Parsons Green Fair takes place, you guessed it, on Parsons Green, on Saturday 1 July (11.30 am - 5.30pm). There will be over 100 stalls selling a huge array of products: beautiful kaftans, children’s clothes, jewellery, toys, cakes, olive oils, antiques, fabulous tableware and more.
Family fun for all ages includes a host of live performances from local schools of dance, drama and music, donkey rides, circus acts, fun fair, a petting zoo, Punch and Judy shows, magicians and bungee jumping.
Lunch and snacks are covered too with a large food and beverage area offering organic burgers and sausages, pizzas, salads, ice creams, sandwiches, and other delicious snacks from local food suppliers and Kenrick’s will be serving orange wine (if you haven’t tired we think it’s a must have for summer), rose, white and red, Pet Nat and beers on sale by the glass or bottle.
The event is made possible by the sponsorship of Fulham based companies Marstons Properties and John D Wood; the event is also supported by other local businesses. 100% of Fair profits are donated to Fulham Good Neighbours, a local charity who have supported older and disabled people in Fulham since 1966. They support the elderly in their homes via FREE Gardening and Decorating & DIY services with the support of 100 local volunteers for their Befriending, Good Neighbour Scheme and Digital Inclusion projects. You can find the team at their community centre on Rosaline Road, where six days of the week they host Social Club activity including: Art, Chair Based Exercise, Choir, Craft, Digital drop-in, Reading, Lunch, Silver Clubs, Sunday Tea and more!
Jesse’s House & Parson’s Green Nursery to open early 2024
Jesse’s House and Parsons Green Nursery comes to Fulham in 2024. Located on 8 - 10 Heathman’s Road this will be the second private members family club site from the Little Houses Group. Jaego’s House and Kensal House Nursery was created by Charlie Gardiner (Jaego’s Dad) who put together an all parent team, with children under the age of eight and Jaego’s House opened the doors to The White Building, previously the riverside HQ of Virigin Records, in November 2022.
We’re pretty sure Jesse’s House will encompass the same ethos which is to basically make family life easier, be a place that parents look forward to visiting just as much as their children. A space “where kids are allowed to be kids, they can express themselves, make a mess and have the odd tantrum without any judgment, eye rolling or requests to be quiet, a place where children should be seen and heard”.
We’re looking forward to seeing what’s on offer at their Fulham site. Jaego’s House provides everything from giant slides to great food, activites and events for both adults and kids. It’s all done in a pretty cool, effortless way so we’re hoping some images of work in progress at Jesse’s House will be appearing soon! Want to stay tuned?
