ParkLife Café

Harrow in the Wealds

ParkLife isn't just a café.

it's a vibrant space, where well-being, education, dance hand in hand. It's not just a building; it's a hub of life happenings. We're a mix of ages, organisations, cultures, and religions, all converging in our tiny but mighty café space.

And let's be clear, nothing we do could be done alone, without the goodwill of volunteers, partner organisations, with a healthy sprinkle of kindness, our café comes alive with community vibes.

Our projects cover everything from art and learning to health and community celebrations.

It's a true combination of mind, body, and soul – all delivered with a generous dose of community love

Independence is our buzzword. ParkLife Café runs on a small team, generously seasoned with nice-natured volunteers. It's a spot where you can chat, relax, enjoy delicious food, and sip on drinks at community prices.

ParkLife is not just a coffee shop with home made cakes: Our menu is a delightful mix of fresh produce and quirky specials, supporting local talent and taste buds alike.

Our aim is as ambitious as our coffee addiction:

To create a space for everyone. It's not just about providing a quiet spot; it's about crafting a happy, welcoming environment where people can share and hold a respect for the environment and each other. Think of it as a place for all – with a side of positivity, smiles, and happiness, obviously.

 So, who are we?

Picture a bunch of residents passionate about community, parks, and, of course, sipping on the nectar of the life washed down with – Sicilian coffee, a  bunch or people, united by the strange partnership of kindness, a love for good conversations, and a shared mission to make things awesome.

Our first year laid the groundwork, and by year two, we had organisations joining us like moths to a caffeinated flame. 

We rely on open-minded conversations and selling the finest art, food and Sicilian coffee to fund our community dreams.

Some partners we work with!
