It may be wet today, but the forecast for this Friday 16th Sept is dry weather, so we're going ahead with the Open Air Cinema.

Entrance is free, but we will be collecting money to install a Defibrillator at The Lion Pub, essential first aid equipment for our neighbourhood. Please donate on the fund raising page here https://communityheartbeat.enthuse.com/cf/hotwells-and-cliftonwood-community-association-def

We're also holding a Fancy Dress Competition - come dressed as a Circus character and you might win a prize, with thanks to the Red Pizza Company and Spar on Hotwells Road. Thanks also to our main sponsors, Estate Agents Alexander May.

Seating is on a first come, first served basis, so come early. We provide chairs but you're welcome to bring a rug to sit on the grass. The park also has easy wheelchair access but let us know ahead if you need disabled parking close by and we will save you a space. We discourage people from driving to Cliftonwood because street parking is very limited. Please walk or come by taxi to the park if you can.

The Lion pub next door provides takeaway food and drink. They will be serving sausages (both meat and veggie) and chips for the kids and curries for adults.

We will confirm a new date very soon, and we look forward to meeting up again as a community when the time is right.
