We are welcoming everyone back to our home and garden in Barking Park, with a wide range of Company Drinks style activities, from hands-on workshops, tours of the garden, a wellbeing Tombola, tasty food and drinks and the launch of new art and design works.
Special guests include the Good Food Collective, Mobile Apothecary and the Happy Hoppers. The pavilion is now fully refurbished and accessible, with new design work by local architect / designer Sahra Hersi for the Club Room, and local artist Susanna Wallis has made beautiful drawings for the different planting and well-being parts in our garden.
There will be lots of activities happening across the day, but there is limited capacity for the sessions so please book a free ticket to avoid disappointment.

Covid safety
We’ll mostly be outdoors, and we’ll encourage people to wear a face covering when entering the building, unless they are exempt from doing so. We’ll also encourage you to keep social distance from those outside of your immediate household / social bubbles. We ask everyone to be conscious of others’ health, safety and wellbeing, and to respect each others’ varying boundaries and levels of concern.
If you or anyone in your household have covid symptoms, we ask that you stay home, self-monitor, and take a covid test, if you think it’s necessary.
If you want to get involved please e-mail us at contact@companydrinks.info.
