New year, new newsletter
Happy New Year from all the staff at Myatt's Fields Park. As from today, you'll receive one e-bulletin a month with updates on horticulture, families, cooking and events. You'll also get to hear about one of our many amazing volunteers in our thank you section.

Myatt's in the top 10 parks
Myatt's Fields Park is the 7th most tranquil park in London – according to acoustic consultant Grant Waters. He spent 3 years working with academics to create a tranquility index. The index lists the top 10 most peaceful places to get a break from noise and pollution in London.

What's growing in the park?
In January we mulch the ground to enrich the soil. Healthy soil will help us grow tasty and wildlife-friendly plants later in the year. With the help of volunteers, we'll be doing a lot of mulching – including to prepare for a new edible hedge alongside the wildlife area. We'll be planting the new soft fruit and other shrubs through the mulch in March.

What about the greenhouse?
With funding from City Bridge Trust we'll be doing lots of new things this year, like developing a healing plants garden. We'll also be growing veggie seedlings for local groups. It's a great time to volunteer and get a free lunch in the process (Fridays 9.30-1pm and Sundays 10-2pm).

Food Heroes: Turkish food first up
Mina will be our Food Hero on Sunday 19 Jan. She'll be teaching you how to make tasty Turkish food. Learn and eat from 11am-1pm. Mina will be donating her fee to a homeless project she helps run. Future Food Heroes include Ummu (Middle Eastern, 26 Jan), Elisa (Italian, 2 Feb) and Dorothea (Caribbean, 9 Feb).

A big thank you to...
Debbie Charles for keeping us all in the know about what's going on in our local park. Debbie has been keeping the park noticeboards bang up to date. But that's not all. In the past 18 months she's raised £2000 on her cake stall – funds that mean we can run our summer, autumn and winter fairs. Thank you Debs!

Something on your mind?
Park manager Eliza will be at the depot to talk to anyone about the park on Fridays (10am-noon). Alternatively, come to the roundhouse at the same time on the last Friday of the month (January 31). Our staff will be there to talk about issues around dog walking, park events and our horticultural plans. Everyone is welcome.

NEWSLETTER: 03/09/2019

Myatt's Fields Forever
Come to the market this Sunday, noon - 2pm, to hear our latest Live At The Bandstand event. Inspired by the likes of The Beatles, Johnny Cash and James Brown – Clause 4 will be performing pop classics from the 60s as well as blues, country, Americana, and edgy rock and roll.

Join our carnival parade
Something special is happening on Saturday 12 October. Our first-ever carnival parade will be dancing through the streets, lighting up the neighbourhood. It starts at 1.30pm from Max Roach, Wiltshire Road – reaching the park at 2.30pm where there'll be much more to enjoy at our Autumn Fair. Want to star in the parade? Email us (spots are limited)

Myatt's Autumn Fair
When the parade hits the park at 2.30pm, Myatt's will come alive with music, food, face painting and more. Try out your favourite Strictly moves to a live salsa band, donate and take away free stuff from the Bring and Take stall, and enter our cake competition. Submit your carnival-style cakes by 3.30pm on the day.

The best hot choc in town
Warm, creamy, chocolately, delicious. We think The Little Cat Cafe serves up the most indulgent hot chocolate going. But that's for you to judge. Nip down to the park and treat yourself to one – and let us know if you agree. We recommend giving the oat milk version a whirl.

Welcome Rajia and Fabrice!
Fabrice Boltho returns as our Community Gardener and Rajia Khan (pictured) joins as our new Volunteer Coordinator. They'll soon be running gardening sessions with a free lunch, which means we'll need volunteer Food Heroes to cook their favourite meals. lf you're up for cooking, let us know.

Volunteer(s) of the month
A big thank you to Marion and Melany for growing food over the summer for the beautiful market stall. They've put in hours of volunteer work and we are all healthier and happier as a result. The market will be open as usual, Sunday, 10-3pm.
