Thirdspace Picnic

  • East Sheen Gate Richmond, England, SW14 8BJ United Kingdom (map)
Thirdspace Late-Summer Picnic Sept 1 2024

Open to everyone - our graduate community, friends of Thirdspace, your partners, friends, children, pets. Come and gather and meet people in person. It will be a relaxed, 'everyone welcome' time on Sunday 1 September from 2pm to 5pm. We’ll meet just inside Sheen Gate of Richmond Park in SW London: what3words location music.agree.vision

The nearest train station is SW Trains and it’s called Mortlake. It’s about a 10/15 minute walk from the station and there are lots of coffee shops / places to get a sandwich on the way up from the station to the park gate. 

As you come into the gate, we’ll be somewhere on the right hand side of the gate in the forest area just beyond the car park area. You can also drive if you live nearby and the car park is very near to the forest area where we’ll gather picnic style. 

You can bring whatever you’d like to eat, drink, share, play and we will simply hang out, chat and be together for an afternoon. We’ll be hoping for some late-summer sunshine.

Everyone is welcome - family members, friends etc. And we hope to gather as many of us together as we can. 

Book

It’s about time we all felt each other’s physical presence so we’re hosting a very informal picnic style gathering on Saturday 7th May 2022, 1pm to 4pm at East Sheen Gate of Richmond Park in London. 

We invite you to bring a rug or collapsible camping chair, some food to share, maybe a cake or two and a drink and just be together under a tree in the field close to East Sheen Gate. There is a toilet at the entrance to the park that we’ll be right nearby (20p entrance fee and you can pay by contactless) and not much else. There may be an ice cream van though, if the weather is nice. 

Mortlake train station is about 15/20 minutes walk away (mainline from Waterloo station) and you can park your car just outside the gate and there are no restrictions.

Please come and join us with whoever you’d like to bring along - everyone is welcome. We think there will be a few PCC babies/toddlers in our midst too (hopefully)!

We will let you know if anything changes (the weather might not be good, in which case we’ll postpone the gathering), and give you a mobile number to call in case you have any issues on the day.
