Abney Parks Trust is offering the exciting opportunity to run a new cafe and community space as part of the Abney Park Restoration Project. The new owners will have the opportunity to play a key role in the revitalisation of Abney Park, a treasured green space and one of London’s ‘Magnificent 7’ garden cemeteries.

The £5 million Abney Park Restoration Project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, The National Lottery Community Fund and Hackney Council. Alongside building the new cafe and community centre, the park’s much-loved chapel will be restored for public use, an accessible park entrance will be installed, a new activity programme will be created and new species-rich lawn and grassland meadow areas will be introduced to improve biodiversity.

Applicants are encouraged to apply before 20 February. To apply, register for the Hackney Procurements Portal via the link below and use the Tender Reference Number ‘DN647583’.
