Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Finsbury Park event disruption 2025
I was wondering if anyone has any information, dates specifically when areas of the park will be closed this year for the festivals?
I've emailed Haringey Event Management with no reply and the Haringey website has outdated 2024 information only

DISRUPTION within the park—from the council's bloated commercial hires—will be familiar to regular users of our park, such as ParkRun.
However—and possibly for the first time—the council has obliquely acknowledged the disruption without the park: traffic.
Without mentioning the closure of a TfL Red Route and the disruption to bus services inside and outside the Borough, the council admitted to "frequency and complexity of events", leading to "challenges".

This is unusual, as the council normally admits to no disadvantages and typically disregards the long list of drawbacks.
For their Events Season, the council does exhibit leadership (in the wrong direction). The council leader is a fan of Festival Republic's Wireless. in the past, she has several times publicly endorsed Grime music in particular ("working class struggle"). Not every resident in Hackney, Haringey and Islington are on the same page as Cllr Ahmet's musical taste, but many are obliged to hear it: whether or not they want to.
