There will be a Japanese Garden Party held in Hammersmith Park on Sunday 23rd May. The park is located behind the BBC Television Centre near Westfield Shopping Centre. The Japanese garden in Hammersmith Park is a relic of the 1910 Japan-British Exhitibion and was featured in our latest issue of Myriad Leaves. The restoration of the garden began two years ago and is finally completed in time for the centenery of the exhibition this summer.
The Japan Society organised Japanese Garden Party will be an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy an afternoon in the park under the shade of the cherry trees. There will be bon-odori dancing, traditional kamishibai story telling and other family-orientated activities.
Although you are asked to bring along a picnic, there will be Japanese food on sale including takoyaki, sushi and yakisoba. It is set to be a lovely afternoon. Further details can be found on the events page at the Japan Society website.
