Open House Families Activites This September
Open House Families is exclusively for children and their families, designed to inspire the next generation of city-shapers.
During Open House Families events families can explore and admire incredible buildings and places throughout London alongside architects, engineers, artists and stoytellers.
This September Open House Families has teamed up with The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) to deliver a weekend of exciting free family events entitled 'Lifting the Lid on Old Oak and Park Royal'. The aim of the weekend is to encourage families to explore and enjoy the areas of Old Oak and Park Royal.
Over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd September families can take part in a variety of free events to celebrate the vibrant places, communities, industries and businesses in Old Oak and Park Royal. From exploring an old carpet factory and weaving musical tales to designing dream living spaces, families can enjoy a range of hands-on workshops over five locations celebrating a truly unique and industrious area of London. Please visit the Open House Families webpage for a full listing of free events for all of the family.
