#QueensPark #QPWinterFest 2024 was unforgettable!

#StormDarragh brought challenges—park closures, wild weather, and a last-minute move indoors—but the #Community made it magical.

Thanks to the Happy Lizzy team, Harrow Road Soup Kitchen, Mozart Community Champions, and HCGA for making it possible.
Photo collage of different scenes from inside the Queen's Park Community Council Winter Festival held at the Happy Hub on Third Avenue, Queen's Park Westminster. The top left photo shows the Lord Mayor of Westminster on the left sitting next to 'Santa' in his Grotto. At the top right is a member of the public receiving their Christmas lunch from the Community Champions members serving it up, with trays of delicious food in between them, in the colourful Happy Hub room. The largest bottom picture in the grid is another scene showing a number of residents receiving their Christmas lunch, with groups of people in the background talking and enjoying one another's company. You can see the Lord Mayor of Westminster talking to residents, a Christmas tree in the window, and the walls have colourful murals with different shapes in yellow, red, green, and teal dots (as the Happy Hub is a youth and community centre in its day-to-day operations).
