Birthday Festival Being Held for Sir John Soane


Pitzhanger to host event as part of Open House London 2021


The community fun day is free to attend

A weekend of family fund is promised as Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery holds a birthday festival for Sir John Soane.

The birthday of the architect of the manor coincides with Open House London 2021 on the weekend of Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 September so the chance is being taken to celebrate the building and its founder. He was born on 10 September 1753.

From 10am-5pm activities will include art trails, dressing up in historic costumes, a painting demonstration and family friendly tours of the Manor.

Entry is free to this community festival, but booking is recommended.
