Saturday 27 June 2026 to Saturday 8 May 2027 | Archaeology exhibition | Dugdale Arts Centre, 39 London Road, EN2 6DS | Free; check centre opening hours.

Museum of Enfield and Enfield Archaeological Society explore the lost palace that once stood on the Forty Hall Estate. The display looks at its residents, staff and the excavations uncovering its history. Visit the continuing Dugdale exhibition; the separate display at Forty Hall has already finished.

21 November: Autumn Tree Art Workshop

Saturday 21 November, 11am | Children's craft workshop | Dugdale Arts Centre, 39 London Road | Contact the box office for ticket price, age guidance and availability.

Young makers use paper plates, tissue paper and other materials to create colourful autumn trees. The hands-on activity explores seasonal colour and texture, with an artwork to take home. Book through the organiser and confirm arrangements for accompanying adults.

22 November: Gelli Printing for Christmas

Sunday 22 November, 11am to 1.30pm | Printmaking workshop, ages 15+ | Forty Hall, Forty Hill, EN2 9HA | £40 per person plus £1.50 booking fee.

Art educator Linda Wagstaffe introduces monoprinting with acrylic paint, collage and stencils to create seasonal cards and decorations. All materials are supplied and no previous experience is needed. Bring an apron, as the process can get messy, and take your prints home afterwards.

Saturday 28 November | Film, folklore and creative activities | Forty Hall Farm | Family session 12.30pm to 4.30pm; evening session 5.30pm to 9.30pm for adults and ages 12+. Sessions ticketed separately.

The farm's festival connects creative activities with Enfield's beaver reintroduction project. The afternoon includes Hoppers, crafts, a fancy-dress parade and a Beaver Moon Ceremony. The evening pairs folklore, felting and firelight with One Hundred Beavers. Check the separate booking pages for prices and availability.
