Clearing – Closing of At The Meadow’s Edge

This event closes At The Meadow's Edge, Turf's late summer programme taking place across Croydon's green spaces.

Gather with us in the space between the city and nature as we celebrate the closing of At the Meadow’s Edge. Artist and youth worker Meera Shakti Osborne invites you to tend to your senses; absorb the smell of pines, listen to a soundscape, receive words, share tea and space within the cocoon of natural dyed fabric screens.

 

This is a drop-in session, with activities unfolding during the afternoon. We’ll settle amongst the trees at a location easily accessed from West Croydon via the tram. The precise location will be shared to attendees 2 days before, with the options to meet at the tram stop and walk together.

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
