Join us for Black Cap Community's annual and special members' meeting on Sunday 27 September at 4pm. BCC is the non-profit organization created to campaign for the Black Cap to re-open. We've achieved that goal but we think BCC still has a role to play in the future. 1/4

BLACK CAP COMMUNITY PICNIC On Sunday 16 August, join us for an easy-going picnic in Castlehaven Park. A little music, some sunshine (let's hope), and a chance to meet campaigners, Cappers, and Camden locals and celebrate our first summer since the fabulous re-opening of the Black Cap. 1/2

Our neighbours today at Castlehaven 40Fest are the Leftfooters Football Club! Did you know the Leftfooters started at the Cap in 1999? Wonderful to have them meeting up again at their original home! Second pic is the team in the kit sponsored by the Black Cap back in the day.

Fancy a bit of a trim before Trans+ Pride, with no gendered assumptions? Syd and Tass will be back with more free haircuts on Monday 20 July at the Black Cap Community Hub at Castlehaven. And maybe some other things like hand massage, if there's time! And we'll have all our usual snacks, drinks, &c.

PRIDE 2026. We still have a few places left for the Pride march 2026. Come and join us. We marched in protest, we marched in hope for 11 years - and now we march, hand in hand with the The Black Cap team, to celebrate the #blackcapresurrection. 1/2

Castlehaven Community Centre is unexpectedly closed today because of an electricity problem, so we've got to cancel today's Black Cap Community Hub session. Many apologies for the short notice!

Feeling like a trim? We have two opportunities for free haircuts coming up at the Black Cap Community Hub! Tass will be with us on 20 April and then on 11 May we'll have Syd. And of course we'll have our usual snacks and soft drinks, craft materials and board and card games... 1/2

There will be no Black Cap Community Hub session at Castlehaven this Monday (6 April). We're really sorry about this. Normally we have sessions as usual on bank holidays but the Castlehaven building as a whole is closed, which means we need to arrange to have the keys to get in. 1/2

'I think it's fifty-two years since I first came to the Black Cap. It was just after I came over from Ireland. It was the best place, I'd come here every Saturday, we'd all get together here. I've a feeling when it opens again it'll be better than ever!' #WeAreTheBlackCap #TheBlackCapForever
