Spring garden action day
Saturday, May 11, 2019 - 08:30 to 13:00TNRA is organising another day of weeding and composting by community volunteers in our two square gardens in order to prepare for Open Garden Squares Weekend (9 June).

We will be gathering in the Trinity Church Square garden on Saturday 11 May from 8.30 am to 1pm. If you can help, let us know in advance on info@tnra.net - or just turn up. Gardening tools will be provided. No prior experience of gardening is necessary!

Chaplin walk with John Constable
Thursday, September 5, 2019 - 19:15 to 21:00TNRA’s walk in 2019 led by John Constable will take place on the evening of Thursday 5 September.
This year marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of Charlie Chaplin. There is no official record of his birth, although Chaplin believed he was born at East Street, Walworth, about 1 km away from Trinity Village. The walk will include the church where his parents were married, his supposed birthplace (in East Street), the Lambeth Workhouse where the family were housed in hard times, and West Square where they lived in happier days.
We will also explore the history and culture of the area in the late 19th century with its costermongers and music hall artists, visiting the sites of the old Surrey Gardens zoo and theatre, the Manor Place public baths and the South London Palace, one of London's most celebrated music halls.
We will gather on 5 September from 7.15pm for a 7.30pm departure on the corner of Walworth Road and Larcom Street, close to the Library and Cuming Museum, which were damaged in the 2013 fire. Buses 35 or 40 from Newington Causeway stop close by.
No bookings are required. Just turn up and take part! The walk is arranged by TNRA free of charge for participants.
