The Spa Hill Allotment Society has announced that its annual Fun Day will return on Saturday, 12 September 2026. Running from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, the community event will take place at the historic 22-acre allotment site located at 180 Spa Hill (SE19 3TU), situated on the sunny south-west slopes of Crystal Palace Hill.

An Historic South London Green Space

Operating as one of the largest allotment sites in South London, the Spa Hill Allotment Society supports over 300 plots. The site, which offers a key community green space for the wider Croydon and Lambeth border areas, opens its gates to the general public for this annual showcase of local growing, community spirit, and family-friendly activities.

Event Highlights

According to the official Spa Hill Allotment Society event details, entry to the Fun Day is completely free. This year’s programme is set to feature a range of attractions for families and gardening enthusiasts alike, including:

  • A community barbecue and refreshment stalls.
  • A bouncy castle for younger children.
  • Produce displays and stalls showcasing the season's harvest from the 300-plus active plots.
  • Opportunities to tour the historic 22-acre grounds.

Ward Police Panel to Convene at Allotments

In addition to the weekend festivities, the site remains a central hub for local engagement. The Metropolitan Police has scheduled the next Norbury Park Ward Panel Meeting to take place at the Spa Hill Allotments on Thursday, 10 September 2026, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. This public meeting offers local residents an opportunity to discuss area priorities directly with members of the local Safer Neighbourhoods team ahead of the weekend's public event.

Getting There

The Spa Hill Allotments are located within walking distance of the Norbury and Upper Norwood borders. Visitors planning to attend can access the site easily via local transport routes, with several bus connections serving the surrounding Crystal Palace and South London areas. Active travel and public transport are highly recommended as local residential parking is limited.
