There’s a new coffee truck on the square👀

Say hello to Latte Lab - now parked up at Barking Riverside Station, serving everything from your morning coffee to iced lattes and matcha on sunnier days ☕🌿

Owned by Barking local Mehak, the truck will be open every Friday to Tuesday, 11am - 7pm.

If you’re passing through the station or heading out for a walk, stop by to check it out 👀

Almost one week to go 🎬

We have great plans to mark the opening of the Circus and Kings Hill on Saturday 16th May with a full day of open-air cinema - and tickets are already going fast.

It’s going to be a wonderful day, filled with family films all afternoon and a blockbuster in the evening. Deckchairs are ready and a range of food and drink will be available to purchase on the day.

Free popcorn will be kindly provided by the Barking Riverside Resident Events Panel, who will be on hand to discuss their summer events programme.

Tickets cost £5 for adults and £3 for children. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Here’s what’s on:
📽️ 1pm – Inside Out 2 (U)
📽️ 4pm – Goat (PG)
📽️ 7pm – Jurassic World: Rebirth (12A)

The event is fully outdoors, so dress for anything - suncream or a coat, maybe both! 🌤️
