Want to come to our Fun Palace this weekend?
1 October 2026
It's the start of October. How did that happen?! But still, we're glad Black History Month is finally here as we've been excited about the programme we've got in store for you! We hope you will be checking out the exhibition in the The Gallery Cafe, the accompanying Opening Event and talk and the dance event.
That does, however, mean this weekend is the last few days of our We all Repair exhibition in the cafe. We hope you have enjoyed reading the stories of some of the people who repair at SMH. If you haven't seen it yet, you've got until 4pm on Sunday. Don't miss it!
There's lots more besides happening this weekend and the next couple of weeks. Check out our What's on page and read on to find out what's coming up soon, or download a PDF via the button below.
Join us on Saturday for a day of free activities for all the family. There’ll be crafting, games, gardening, circus and drama - a little bit of everything that children can get involved in every week at SMH.
Did you know we host a monthly D/deaf Cafe? It's an inclusive, integrated space where people can come together to have conversations using BSL, and enjoy a presentation by a D/deaf professional or someone working to support the D/deaf Community. Join us tomorrow from 4pm in The Gallery Cafe.
Press the Buzzer to Enter brings together the work of two artists who consider interiors, memory, objects and storytelling: Joanna Boyle and Helen Eger. Join the artists on Saturday 10th October for the Beyond Still Life workshop from 2-4pm (tickets £8).
A welcoming and safe space to take part in gentle movement and meditation, helping to improve your mood, confidence and feelings of wellbeing.
Our weekly affordable massage clinic is inspired by the informal massage rooms of South East Asia - a space that establishes community, connection, and healing.
Solidarity on the Streets | Exhibition
2 October - 31 October | Four Corners, Roman Road, Bethnal Green
On the eve of the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, Solidarity on the Streets is a new exhibition exploring a century of collective action against racism, fascism and exclusion. London’s East End has been a refuge for migrant communities fleeing poverty and persecution for over 500 years, from Irish migrants and French Huguenots to Eastern European Jews and South-Asian Bengalis.
