The vision was to restore this lovely teak and cast-iron greenhouse and turn it back into a wonderful and vibrant space for the whole community to use and enjoy.

In 2023 this vision was achieved. The greenhouse is now open to the public as a charity plant shop twice a week and is being used for all sorts of exciting horticulturally inspired events by the community.

Arts in The Park community arts sessions for all. Discover the full weekly programme, the one off events and community of artists, therapists and gardeners that bring this space into constant activity, meeting the needs of all in the community - especially families and the vulnerable members of our society.

Eat @ The Park Café is in the heart of Alexandra Park, the award-winning Grade II Park of Historic Interest.

They updated and changed the menu, facilities and service standards when we took over in April 2008, and the café now offers a menu of high quality, home cooked food, much of it locally sourced.

This is an exciting initiative by EA with the charity MIND under the heading Run to Talk. Their aim is to have a mental health champion in every affiliated running club. MH champions need to have experienced mental health issues at work, personally or as a relative; be open and non judgmental.

They are appointed to promote the benefits of running on mental wellbeing; provide crisis information eg on website; be a link with the community and mental health organisations; support members to improve mental wellbeing through running; put on events to promote mental wellbeing within the club.

Woodland Railway & Mini Golf available every week at Alexandra park. Located in the North Part of the park after the Pump House Cafe. Great for all the family to enjoy!

Free weekly one hour health walks. No need to book, just pop along shortly before the start time. Every Wednesday 10.30-11.30am.
