🌿 Still smiling. Still feeling the good vibes. 💚 We're looking back on an incredible Canons Summer Fair and what a day it was! Seeing so many people come together to enjoy the music, activities, workshops, exhibitions and community spirit made all the hard work worthwhile. A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped create such a warm, welcoming atmosphere celebrating local climate action. Whether you performed, volunteered, ran a stall, took part in an activity or simply came along to enjoy the day, you helped make it something really special. Here's a little collage of some of our favourite moments. We hope it brings back some happy memories—and if you spot yourself, let us know! 📸 Thank you, Merton. We had the best day. 💚 #CanonsSummerFair #ThankYou #Community #Mitcham #TogetherInMerton by @canons_mitcham
Celebrating the Completion of Our Arts Council England–Funded NPO Workshops with Merton Libraries! What an inspiring journey of creativity, cultural discovery, shared learning and connection! Our workshops have brought people together through art, heritage and storytelling, forming new friendships, building relationships and developing creative skills through shared artistic processes and diverse cultural experiences. From exploring Black History, Sub-Saharan African heritage and Ghanaian traditions to discovering the stories behind Adinkra symbols, wax prints, textiles and mask-making, participants have shared knowledge, experiences and inspiration from across the globe. For some, it was an opportunity to celebrate their own heritage; for others, a chance to discover cultures beyond their own. Participants described the workshops as enjoyable, relaxing, entertaining and a real boost to their wellbeing and mental health. A wonderful highlight was the completion of our large collaborative identity mask, bringing together participants’ identities, cultural heritage, values and lived experiences through creative expression. Its intricate contributions reflected inspirations from around the world, including Christingle traditions, Paisley motifs, the green landscapes of Grenada, exquisite Ireland, leadership from Sri Lanka and respect from the UK. We also explored Merton’s rich textile heritage, including the legacy of William Morris, Liberty and the historic textile industries of Merton. But the journey doesn’t end here! Our exhibition is coming to Cannons House, Mitcham, in January 2027, with dates to be announced. Come along, explore the artwork, discover the stories behind the creations and engage with the cultural inspirations, identities and shared experiences represented in this wonderful collaborative project. Different cultures, shared stories, one community through creativity. Thank you to Arts Council England, Merton Libraries, our workshop collaborators and, most importantly, every participant who contributed their creativity, openness and unique story. by @canons_mitcham

Canons in Bloom 🌸 A little glimpse of the colour across the grounds… From soft lilac asters and vivid pink blooms to golden sunflowers, delicate white flowers and jewel-like berries, the gardens are putting on quite a show. And it's not just beautiful to look at. Every flower brings another little burst of life — providing nectar, shelter and food for the bees, butterflies, moths and other wildlife that make Canons their home. 🐝🦋🌿 There is so much to discover when you slow down and look a little closer. Come and enjoy the bloom. 🌸 #CanonsInBloom #Mitcham #CanonsHouse #Biodiversity #NatureInBloom by @canons_mitcham
