The East Barnet Festival will return in 2024. The weekend community event, a mix of stalls, music, dance and entertainment will take place at Oak Hill Park from June 28th to June 30th.

The festival was not held in 2023 due to “a lack of funding and volunteers” but its was welcomed by Barnet Council recently.

East Barnet councillor Edith David told a meeting of the full council that “the volunteers and organisers make this a very special event for our communities”.

In response, a spokesperson for Barnet Council said: “We are very grateful for all their hard work in putting on this great event.”
