Gunnersbury Park and Museum is the place to be for activities and adventures this autumn – from crafts workshops, to nature walks, dance classes and history talks.

As leaves turn to gold, conkers line the ground beneath and the air starts to turn crisp, there is no better time to come and explore the beautiful surroundings of Gunnersbury Park.

Meanwhile inside the museum, you’ll find stories about local people throughout history through interactive galleries, with helpful and knowledgeable staff on hand to answer questions.
