The Embassy of Japan, in collaboration with Japan Society, The Friends of the Japanese Garden and Hammersmith and Fulham Council are pleased to invite all to join us for a summer afternoon of family fun and entertainment in the peaceful surroundings of Hammersmith Park’s Japanese garden.

Pack a picnic to enjoy on the grass under the shade of a tree, or why not try some homemade Japanese sweets from An-an Wagashi and Tokyo Bakery, plus a range of organic fine foods from Clearspring which will be available to purchase on the day.

Children will love taking part in our treasure trail around the park, and a range of activities for all are taking place all afternoon. Learn all about haiku with acclaimed poet, Paul Conneally, or try your hand at folding origami animals or writing your name in Japanese with our wonderful team of volunteers.

Expect exciting taiko drumming performances from Thames Daiko, plus demonstrations from Tamakurya Boutique and Kendama London, and more!

We look forward to seeing you there! No booking necessary and this event is free and open to all.
