Be Richmond’s Whittaker Avenue is hosting four fabulous weekends of pop-up fun throughout July.

From enjoying the taste of Wimbledon, and taking time out for some relaxing wellbeing, to super cool surfing, or a perfect picnic there’s something for everyone to look forward to.

Make a racquet on the 8th-9th July to mark the start of Wimbledon. Activities include VR tennis, themed photo-opps, a selection of tasty treats and a giant lounge to sit back and watch the fun and games.

Take some well-earned time out with a Wellbeing Weekend on 15th-16th July, with guided meditation sessions, Be Well Walks in partnership with SoulHub and a chill out area.

Surf’s up on 22nd-23rd July. See if you can catch a wave on the surf simulator, visit the beach shack, plus there’s seaside-themed facepainting for surfer dudes and ice creams to help you chill out.

Bring your favourite teddy bears to a special Teddy Bears’ Picnic weekend on 29th-30th July with guest appearances and walkabouts with Marmalade the Bear. Bring your own food and drink or grab something locally and pick your favourite picnic spot.

The Whittaker Avenue Weekends are being organised by Be Richmond following the success of their pop-up garden last year which was in place for 22 weeks and included summer, Halloween and Christmas themed activities.
