Volunteering at the Clocktower Festival

The Clocktower Festival is a beloved annual event in Islington’s Caledonian Park, bringing together residents for a day of fun, learning, and community connection. With four key pillars Fun Learning, Togetherness, Health & Wellbeing, and Community Partnerships the festival offers engaging activities, workshops, and entertainment while fostering social cohesion and reducing isolation.

They are after volunteers to help run the festival. They require litter pickers, help with set up and queue management assistance.

The Clocktower Festival was established in 2015 by Southern Housing (SH) and became a community tradition with entertainments, stalls and local musicians. From 2016 to 2019, it was funded by SH and organised by a committee including SH, Clock tower Resident Group (CRG)!Caledonian Park Friends group(CPFG) and Islington Council GreenSpace.

Following a successful relaunch by CRG and CPFG in 2024 we had over 3,000 attendees and so the festival returned last year also and was a huge success again. This year we have a focus on ‘Heritage’ and aim to expand with more artistic showcases, and affordable local food.

Flexible timings so join for as long as you can
