This Sunday, the Hampstead Heath Conker Championships are returning to the Parliament Hill Bandstand for another year of autumnal fun.

This world-famous, record-breaking event includes competitions for children and adults, ending with thrilling final matches in the squared conker circle. No experience is needed. Rules and judging will be overseen by the Grand Conker Meister, and winners in each category will receive prizes.

Registration opens at 12.30pm, and participants can pick their own conker, with donations welcome. The event also features free family nature activities and various stalls.

After the championships, attendees can enjoy live music from Mad Dog Bites on the Bandstand, rounding off a day filled with competition, community, and entertainment for all ages.
