Let the soothing sounds of choral group Consort wash over you in the beautiful surroundings of Kenwood’s Music Room. Experience a New Orleans style marching band in Pond Square. Kick back to world-class jazz at the Gatehouse, or soak up the sounds of a string orchestra at other-wordly OmVed Gardens.
Whatever you’re into, there’s something for every musical taste this summer.
Catch our very own screening of the sell-out documentary The Ponds with a Q&A with the director and composer. There’s also a repeat of the popular Highgate on Film illustrated talk by Professor Ian Christie, Birkbeck College– both at the HLSI.
Celebrating Female Highgate
Our Pink Plaque project celebrates the lives of over 20 remarkable women who have lived in Highgate from Angela Burdett-Coutts to Barbara Castle. Omved Gardens hosts an exhibition about the history of the Ladies Pond and Pond Postcards invite swimmers to share their thoughts.
