RSMSJ Community & Events

Home > Community & events

Throughout the year, we organise a programme of events, social gatherings, walks and tours that bring residents, local businesses, organisations and friends of the Society together and celebrate the unique character of Mayfair and St James’s.

From history and heritage walks and local tours to seasonal gatherings and our annual Summer Garden Party at Mount Street Gardens, our programme provides opportunities to meet neighbours, discover more about our extraordinary neighbourhood, connect with local businesses and organisations, and share ideas about the issues that matter to our community.

Our work goes beyond organising events. We also aim to strengthen connections within the local community, encourage dialogue between residents and businesses, and provide opportunities for people to come together, share concerns and ideas, and build positive relationships across the neighbourhood.

By bringing people together, we hope to create a stronger, more connected community and a shared sense of responsibility for preserving, protecting and enhancing the neighbourhood we all call home.

Take a look at our Gallery to see photos from some of our previous events and community gatherings.
