This summer the playscheme children are enjoying a learning the art of Muay Thai twice a week!
Each class is composed of a unique set of Muay Thai techniques, exercises, and drills. Pad work, bag work, and partner work are introduced to develop children’s knowledge of the mental, cultural, and ethical components of Muay Thai.
The lessons learnt extend far empowering children to find their fullest potential at school, at home, and in their communities. It enables kids to establish lifelong healthy habits, and helps them develop the courage to take on new challenges with the right mindset. They will have fun, make lasting friendships, and walk out with a winning state of mind.
We are delighted to announce from September Next Muay Thai children’s classes will be starting at Hargrave Hall on Saturday mornings. For more information on email nextmuaythai@gmail.com

Cecelia’s Café – Islington 2022
at Hargrave Hall Community Centre
Dementia cafés provide useful information in a structured and relaxed setting that gives the opportunity for people with dementia, families and carers to ask questions and learn from the experiences of people in similar situations.

ArchwayCulture is a research project wanting to understand how everyone plays a role in our vibrant, local area. This fun and interactive event will hope to build up a ‘storymap’ of the area, and we really want to hear from you!
We often get asked if we allow bouncy castles for parties and to that we say Yes, in our Upper Hall!
Why just the upper hall? It’s big enough to hold a castle (or two) while still giving the children space to play and for you to set up tables for food and drinks.
Thank you N1 Inflatables for sharing these images of castles you’ve set up in the upper hall.
