Stanley Picker Gallery is excited to running a stall at The King’s Soup, a free community event in nearby Surbiton, inspired by a local folktale about a selfish king who changes his bad ways after tasting a soup made by a collective of villagers. As with this tale, the event celebrates togetherness and community.

Visitors are encouraged to donate a vegetable as a contribution to a collective soup for the whole community to enjoy with their family, friends and neighbours. Alongside soup and stalls there will be live music from local performers, a charity bar, and the chance to enjoy the original The King’s Soup story to learn more about how it all began.

This event follow’s Surbiton Ski Sunday, 11am – 12pm in which local residents strap blocks of ice to their feet and ‘ski’ down St Mark’s Hill.

Both events are run by The Community Brain.
