Help us celebrate Gunnersbury Park’s 100th birthday! We’re excited to kick off our centenary year with a programme of activities and exhibitions. This is the first in a series of exhibitions that explore how it’s been used and enjoyed by the people who lived, worked and played within its grounds. From the days of the Rothschilds to a much-loved public park in the present, come and find out how the land was fought over by local Councils and how the park survived during the war. Explore how Gunnersbury has brought sport, leisure, music, nature, and overall wellbeing to the local community. Hear from the voices of former employees, their families, and visitors to the park, the exhibition also features a very special ‘thinking tree’. “This is a very exciting year for Gunnersbury Park and we are delighted to be part of this celebration of an amazing place. Gunnersbury Unlocked tells some of the stories of the people who created, cared for and used this amazing local resource.” - Victoria Barlow, Head of Museum (Services)
