Raising The Roof - 06 Jun 2026

Raising the Roof - A Celebration With Purpose

6 June 2026 • 12:30–5pm • Manor House Lodge, Finsbury Park, London

Raising the Roof is more than an event - it's a powerful moment of community, culture, and collective action. On Saturday, 6 June, Off The Wall Players invite you to a vibrant, family friendly celebration designed to bring people together in support of communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. This is your chance to enjoy an unforgettable day while helping raise vital funds for those rebuilding their lives.

From 12:30–5pm, The Museum of Homelessness, Manor House Lodge in Finsbury Park, will be transformed into a lively hub filled with the sights, sounds, and flavours of Jamaica. Whether you're coming with family, friends, neighbours, or flying solo, you'll find something to enjoy, something to learn, and something to inspire you.

This special one-day event blends culture, creativity, and community spirit. Expect the irresistible aroma of authentic Jamaican Jerk Barbecue, cooked with love and served fresh throughout the afternoon. Try your hand at a classic game of dominoes, a staple of Jamaican social life, or jump into the energy of our dance off, where rhythm, joy, and friendly competition take centre stage. Throughout the day, you'll experience spoken word, poetry, and performances inspired by Jamaican heritage - a celebration of resilience, artistry, and the power of storytelling.
But Raising the Roof isn't just about entertainment. It's about solidarity. It's about standing with families whose lives were torn apart by Hurricane Melissa and supporting the long-term recovery efforts led by All Hands and Hearts. Every donation, every ticket, every plate of food, and every moment shared helps provide real, tangible support to communities rebuilding homes, restoring hope, and reclaiming their futures.

This family-friendly event is part of the wider Raising the Roof campaign, a community-driven initiative dedicated to using creativity and collective action to make a meaningful difference. Off The Wall Players, supported by the Museum of Homelessness, are proud to produce this day of connection culture, and compassion - a day where Londoners come together not only to celebrate Jamaican culture, but to honour the spirit of community that defines it.
Whether you're drawn by the food, the music, the performances, or the cause itself, Raising the Roof promises a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone belongs. Bring your curiosity, your appetite, your dancing shoes, and your generosity. Come ready to learn, celebrate, and contribute to something bigger than all of us.

Don't miss this chance to be part of a joyful, purposeful gathering that uplifts communities both here in London and across Jamaica. Together, we can raise the roof - and raise hope.
