About this session
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
What to look out for
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs
This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
