Polka’s BIG redevelopment news!
January 28, 2019
Following generous grants from the Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund , Arts Council England, London Borough of Merton and many other vital funders, we are delighted to confirm that Polka will be temporarily closing its doors on 18 February 2019 for a major redevelopment, reopening in 2020.
This will be the first redevelopment in our 40 year history .
We are excited to be creating a beautiful, reimagined facility for children in our community. On behalf of all at Polka, thank you for your support in getting us to this stage. We look forward to sharing this exciting new chapter with you.
