hornsey library
Hornsey Library, in the centre of Crouch End hosts a variety of events throughout the year and during Crouch End Festival is given over to a whole programme.
Last year was a first for Crouch End Festival with three days of culture in the newly renovated grade II listed building.
This year familiar events are mixed with a few surprises: cinema with live accompaniment, singing, workshops, music, storytelling for all ages, comedy, street art and guided tours.
Visitors old and new are invited to explore this local treasure and see it come to life in new ways.
