Hello,

I am writing to let the Golden Lane community know about an event that the City’s Department of Community and Children’s Services will be holding on Sunday 20 July. As you may know we have historically held a fun day called City Life for children and families every September in Leadenhall Market. The Community Fair will be a bigger event for all ages and held here in the Guildhall Yard. The concept for the day is loosely based on a summer fete with a full-sized festival stgae and market stalls run by local groups and organisations. Our aim is for residents from all corners of the City to come together and if possible get involved too.  

Updates about performers and other content will be posted regularly on the FYi Facebook page

Acts confirmed so far include the Belles of London City female Morris dancers, and Apollo 5 - an acapella vocal group.  We are also hoping to secure at least one very special guest.

Lots of the children's activities from City Life will be at the Fair, such as facepainting, crafts, soft play and balloon modelling. We will also have a fun fair tea-cup ride! There will be plenty for older residents too, including a licensed bar.

If you would like to run a stall or activity at the event I would love to hear from you. Otherwise please just come along and enjoy the day!

For any more information about the event please contact me directly, either through here or by email will.cooper@cityoflondon.gov.uk or phone 020 7332 3126.
