gardens
• Observe the opening times: from 6.30am till 10.30pm

the gardens and prevent small children from running out

Party policy (June 2021)
Lettsom Gardens is run as a small, quiet green
space in which local people can relax, meet up with
others and let their children play safely, without
worries about cars, dogs, etc.
We ask all members and their guests to remember that
this is the primary purpose of the space and not to do
anything that spoils its enjoyment for others.
We also ask you to support the trustees and other
members by helping to keep the trees and plants well
looked after and free of litter.
Within these principles, small, informal children’s
parties will be allowed if:
• You keep the party small and laid-back. Please don’t
bring in lots of furniture or take over parts of the
gardens for the sole use of you and your guests.
• You make sure the party doesn’t interfere with others’
enjoyment of peace and quiet: no amplified music, no
professional entertainers, no large-scale organised
games.
• You clear up all your litter afterwards and take it
away with you.
• You do not prop open the gates.
• You email us at least 3 weeks ahead to check a space
