Non-WPCC Events being held on the Commons
The calendar below shows events that are being helpd on the Common but are not orgnised by us. If you require more details, pelase contact the organisers. Where the visit involves a school, the information is deliberately left vague.
Holding an Event on Wimbledon and Putney Commons
As the Commons are now a popular location for events, you will need to seek permission from the Ranger's Office before organising any formal or semi-formal event on or across the Commons. This is to ensure that there is no clash of events that would spoil the enjoyment of participants, or negatively impact our visitors, other users or indeed have a negative impact on the Commons - a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Whilst we are limited to the size and type of event we can host here on the Commons, we are always happy to see if we can help. Please complete the Enquiry Form and one of our team will get back to you to discuss your request.
As a charity, we do charge for events on the Commons. The charges will depend on the nature of the event. Please contact the Ranger's Office for further information.
