Elephant & Castle will host a range of free festivities for friends, family and the local community to celebrate the Valentine’s Day weekend on February 12.
Castle Square will be decorated with all things love and there will be plenty to get stuck into; including Valentine’s Day card making workshops, face painting, and an Instagrammable love dome to take the ultimate selfie in.
The events will run throughout the day from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Traders and businesses on the square will be offering tasty treats and discounts on their products for the celebration.
A diverse range of food at Original Caribbean Spice, El Guambra, Daddy O’s or Kaieteur Kitchen Original will be available for visitors to enjoy.
For those with a sweeter tooth there’ll be opportunities to stock up on sweet treats at Ayca Sweet and Nuts or enjoy a warming hot chocolate at Coma Y Beba.
The Elephant and Castle Community Hub will also host numerous other free activities throughout February both online and in person, besides the Valentine’s Day event.
Local residents will be able to spend the down-time during the month learning, doing arts & crafts, fitness classes and more.
