Top Picks
A tidy shortlist for families who would quite like to leave the house without spending half the morning opening tabs. We keep it local, useful, and blessedly free of events that tell you absolutely nothing.
10 picks around Fyfield, from 8 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
These picks come from the same behind-the-scenes legwork that powers Near Here. We check a frankly silly number of local listings, then keep the family-friendly ones that are nearby, properly described, and worth recommending.
1Free! (worth double-checking)186 Hoe Street, Walthamstow, London, E17 4QH We are a 5 minute walk from Walthamstow Central tube station, which is only 20 minutes from central London on the Victoria Line, and 15 minutes from Liverpool Street station on the Overground. There are numerous buses that stop nearby and outside the venue.
2This group is for our young people from 11 Years to 18 Years old. It is a safe space to come together to discuss life with Jesus using Youth for Christ as a basis for our leaders. This is open to all young people to come and find out more about their own faith. The young people meet in the Church service to begin at 10.30am then move to the outer vestry for their time together. Ignited Youth runs during term time on the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays.
