The exterior of the Pavilion on the Green photographed when it was nearing completion
The Pavilion on the Green, which is located on the grassy area adjacent to Edmonton Green overground station, was designed by Fisher Cheng Architects incorporating ideas which emerged from a public engagement process. It is a temporary structure intended to be in use for three years.
When needed, this attractive sun shading can be deployed
The Pavilion is designed as an open structure without perimetral walls and consists of a decked area of approximately 40 sqm to host performance and community activities. Its roof is open but has an integrated shading system for use in summer. Lighting and an electrical point are provided, to support a wide range of events at any time of the day.
The launch event on Saturday 29th June runs from 2pm to 6pm. It features the following events
-
Central African Youth in Enfield will use music and storytelling to share the cultural heritage of the Congolese settlement in Edmonton. This is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
