Back-to-School Picnic at Hampstead Heath

Back-to-School Picnic at Hampstead Heath: A Moment of Warmth to Kick Off the Year!

The summer sun is starting to mellow, the holidays are coming to an end, and the new school year is just around the corner. To mark this transitional period, nothing beats a friendly and warm picnic to bring CFBL families together.

Day’s Program

The back-to-school picnic will take place on Sunday, September 1st, 2024, starting at 12:00 PM at Hampstead Heath, on the lawn behind the Parliament Hill Lido.

Everyone is invited to bring their own meals, along with drinks and games, to fully enjoy this day outdoors.

A Moment of Sharing and Connection

The back-to-school picnic is a golden opportunity to strengthen bonds within the community, welcome newcomers, and reconnect with those you haven’t seen in a while. It’s also an excellent opportunity for parents to meet teachers and other parents before the school year begins.

Practical Tips

To ensure this event goes smoothly, here are a few practical tips:

  • Bring a blanket or mat: The ground at Hampstead Heath is perfect for sitting, but a blanket will make the experience even more comfortable.

  • Don’t forget sunscreen and hats: Even in September, the sun can be strong, especially in the early afternoon.

  • Be mindful of the environment: Hampstead Heath is a natural gem, so please make sure to take all your trash with you and follow recycling guidelines.

  • Use public transport: Parking around the park is limited. The nearest tube stations are Hampstead and Gospel Oak, and several bus lines serve the area.

Conclusion

The back-to-school picnic at Hampstead Heath promises to be a memorable day, full of smiles, laughter, and connections. Whether you’re a regular at these gatherings or this is your first time, you’re welcome to join in celebrating the end of summer and the beginning of a new year full of promise. So, pack your picnic basket, gather your loved ones, and head to Hampstead Heath for an unforgettable day!
