Discover all that Dalston has to offer families through a whole host of free events taking place across two weekends of Saturday 26 May and 2 June during the half term holiday.
The Dalston Children’s Festival is the perfect way for Hackney’s children to be entertained for free whilst giving families the chance to discover the fun to be had in Dalston all-year-round.
