A huge thank you to all who came! And a special thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who made cakes and helped on the day, ensuring our Chelsea Fringe music festival was a great success! Music groups played in the woodland and on the lawn. The Mayor of Islington Cllr Gary Heather and the Mayoress Cllr Tricia Clarke enjoyed a tour of Olden Garden and met many of our visiting families and children.
