CHILLS in the air may be increasing but Haringey's communities will be heat up the last days of summer with a weekend bursting with a flush of festivals.

Tottenham's Lordship Recreational Ground, off Lordship Lane, will draw hundreds of people to its annual community festival with a celebration of the green space at the heart of the show.

Highlights include a dog agility show, sport competitions, the Tottenham Flower and Produce Show, as well as community stalls selling arts and crafts and delicious food.

More than 70 volunteers will be on hand to ensure the family fun day, which runs between 12pm and 5pm, goes smoothly and will give guests an opportunity to learn about the future vision for Lordship Rec which includes a city farm.

Dave Morris, chair of the Lordship Rec Users Forum and joint festival coordinator, said: "These are exciting times for Tottenham's largest park and we'd like as many people as possible to help publicise the festival and the community-led regeneration plans, and to get actively involved."

On the same day the Central Hornsey and District Allotments and Horticultural Society (CHADAHS) will showcase the west of the borough's biggest and best fruit, vegetable and flowers as it celebrates its 61st year.

A dampener fell on last year's show, one of the biggest in London, following harsh weather which hampered many green-fingered enthusiasts.

Residents can pop into the Moravian Church Hall, in Priory Road, Crouch End, between 2 and 3.30pm when the mayor of Haringey, Councillor Eddie Griffith, will present the winners.

The natural mysteries of Tottenham Marshes will be uncovered and discussed by local botanist David Bevan as he hosts a tour of the mossy land's plants and trees over the last 50 years. Mr Bevan will meet guests at 2pm at the Waterside Centre, in Stonebridge Lock.

More fun carries through to Sunday with the arrival of the well-loved Muswell Hill Festival and Donkey Derby, in Cherry Tree Wood, which helps raise funds for the London Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy. In 2009, £13,500 was raised.

A celebrity cricket match organised by the Haringey mayor to raise funds for the Whittington Hospital's cardiac unit will be played in Crouch End.

Eid celebrations will also be taking place at Haringey Civic Centre, in High Road, Wood Green, to mark the end of Ramadan.

Haringey's Muslim community has sent an open invitation to other faiths, welcoming them to join the festivities.
