THE CORONA VIRUS

Ognisko Restaurant is now closed until further notice.

Dear Members and Friends,

In response to new guidelines around the impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and in order to protect the health and wellbeing of our Members, visitors, staff and community, we have made the decision to close the Club side of Ognisko Polskie (the Polish Hearth) and its on-site events until the end of April.

While the Club is closed, we will be continuing using other ways to continue the life of the community of Ognisko Polskie. Most of our Members have computers, iPads, mobile phones or other digital devices, and through these we hope to create exclusive events, share stories and many other ideas through digital means and from the comfort of your own homes.

We would encourage all of our Members to interact with us through all of our social media platforms (@Ognisko_Polskie on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) or through this website. Tag us and share your news!

Ognisko Polskie is a home to many people. If you are older and need to self-isolate, or in any need, please contact us and we will see what we can do to help.

Our office hours continue as 12–5pm, Monday - Friday, with staff working remotely. For general enquiries please email office@OgniskoPolskie.org.uk and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. If you have bought a ticket to an upcoming event, you will be refunded.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and your continued involvement in the life of our Club. We will be updating you regularly and we look forward to welcoming you back here soon.

Yours sincerely,
Dr. Jan Falkowski Chairman

WELCOME TO OGNISKO POLSKIE - THE POLISH HEARTH

Ognisko Polskie - the Polish Hearth is one of London’s oldest Polish Clubs which today hosts a variety of theatrical, musical and other cultural events.

Founded in 1939 to maintain the cohesion of the free Polish community in the United Kingdom during the Second World War, it went on to become the centre of social and cultural life for the Polish community in exile. It has since served to provide a home for Poles to meet and build friendships, as a place where Polish culture and history is kept alive and where Polish identity and independence are maintained.
