Current Events

Chair Pilates with Adina

Every Tuesday morning our Palace Club members are treated to an invigorating and challenging Chair Pilates class with Adina Thomas. Adina is an expert in her field and works with all levels of mobility and fitness within the class, making it a truly inclusive and fun environment

Origami With Toshi

Following a short tea break (post Pilates), the Palace Club members are led in making session by origami master, Toshi. Learning the relaxing art of origami, members work on long and short term crafts, producing a variety of things to take home and keep.

Hot Lunches

The end of every session is marked by a nutritious hot lunch from one of our local partner caterers, Pasta e Basta, Karma Cans, Sunlight Caribbean and Cod & Co. Lunch, as well as all the activities during the day, is completely free for participating club members.

Warm Spaces – Every Friday Until 31 March

Warm Spaces is an exciting addition to our programme for over 65s. Every Friday afternoon from 6 January – 31 March, our doors will be to all over 65s living in Hackney, looking for a welcoming space to shelter from the cold, play board games, or just sit and talk one with another.

Hot drinks and hot food will be provided in the familiar setting of our Library Bar.

A Hub Leader will be present throughout each session, to welcome you to the space and make sure you have everything you need.

The Palace (Book) Club

Reading for pleasure is a globally recognised indicator in a huge range of social issues from poverty to mental health, yet in England, 36% of people don’t regularly read (DCMS, 2015). We launched the Palace Book Club in 2020 when the joy of reading a book as a means of escape was something many people across the UK shared.

Reading a book was wonderful, but how much more enjoyable to meet with friends to recommend, share thoughts and read out loud. Our digital programme included the first two meetings of the Palace Book Club. Now that restrictions have been lifted we can meet in person – and thanks to our funder, London Legacy Development Corporation and our bookshop partner Pages of Hackney, we have a limited number of free copies of each book to offer to Club members.
